Talk:Ruckus Network

message: According a couple of college news sources, Ruckus is working on a Mac-compatible version of the program, an important step in gaining market share since this past year is the first that Apple sold more laptops than Dell to the higher education niche of the market. 
I can't find anything else on Google news, does anyone know more about this?  Bgnuf (talk) 14:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

message: "Global availability: Ruckus is only available to college undergraduates, alumni and faculty located in the United States."
I think this should be changed. I'm a spanish student and I'm able to use the service with my .edu e-mail, so I guess it should be the same for any country, isn't it?Sakura1083 (talk) 22:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're wrong.  Perhaps they have not caught you, but if you are in Spain or any country other than the US, you cannot use the service under the terms of the EULA .  216.68.56.218 (talk) 09:17, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Maybe this isn't big enough to land on wikipedia, but there's a bit of a scandal going on at Facebook.com in regards to Ruckus.  They put a fake profile called "Brody Ruckus" who started a group promising that he would get a threesome if he got over 100,000 members.  Today, he and his group were kicked off of the site for violating the terms of service for being a false profile to advertise Ruckus Network.  It made it onto VH1's "Best Week Ever".  I could write up a blurb for this page if it is deemed okay.Minidoxigirli 22:02, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Too little is known for absolute sure, and it really is a trivial piece of underhanded, tasteless failed marketing.  As for the student newspapers - there is rarely any assurance of quality, as the writers and editors may or may not be trained in journalism techniques.  As a personal policy I try to stay away all but the best regarded student newspapers.  Anyway, the article does make mention of allegations of shady marketing techniques and links to an article.  I see no need t make a change until more information comes to light. - Plasticbadge 14:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello. It's your friendly neighborhood mediator here. In order to de-escalate this issue (and allow me to catch up with all the edits that have happened since I stepped away from the computer), may I kindly ask the both of you (Nroseszu and Plasticbadge) to stop editing for the moment? I have placed this page on my watch page so I can take care of any clear vandalism. Thanks so much, and sorry for the delay. Gzkn 05:33, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Don't treat me like a child.  I've seen enough corporate vandalism on this site to know it when I see it.  Please continue this on the mediation page. - Plasticbadge 16:30, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  DRM 

message: Just did a (required) update on my Ruckus player. It updated the software and also put in a program called goombahcom, that after googling appears to be malaware. After looking around my computer, I was notified that this program was accessing my browser as well as my iTunes. Just a heads up to all Ruckus users about this, you can remove it from the add/remove control panel window, under Goomba.  Should/Can information on Malaware be included in the main entry?

message: I've removed the criticism that is not Ruckus specific. Some were criticism about the subscription music format in general, which can be read in that specific page.
Its like writing under Ford as a criticism "tired use rubber from trees that had to be cut down"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jass (talk • contribs) 17:33, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
