throw exception

This is an example of why liberal arts grads should not program. After reading this glowing puff piece in the New York Times, I hopped over to Unigo to check out the goods. Apple assessment, before releasing a product, perhaps test at least three or four of the links to see if they work. While startups are eager to have their sites go live, even if they have to call them 'Beta,' (gmail has been in beta for about five years), perhaps a basic funtionality threshold should be passed. How about, one bug per 100 user sessions, or maybe per 2 user sessions. This site blows. Ebert and Apple give it one apple. If anything, it might survive as a Facebook app, but a standalone site. Save your money, investors, buy stock in Merrill.
