Wow, all the work they put into the "hype" for the various Spymac versions should be implemented into the actual design and functionality of the site itself.

I used to be a Spymac member, but I never understood why the site was randomly down for weeks at a time with no real improvement to justify the downtime.

I don't understand how any company's business model can survive when they shut down their entire website completely just to hype the upcoming version of their website. How can they do business and pull in new customers when there is only a limited window of time which they are open for business?

Guys just be glad, if Spymac didn't exist... some of those kids might end up on NN!

Spy Mac's designer needs to learn what Macs are about - simplicity. With each version of their site they continue to go faster in the opposite direction.

Why do you think they keep re-launching?


Fourteen-year-olds are not necessarily an ideal business target group

That movie was so pretentious I couldn't watch it after the first 30 seconds. It almost made me sick.

On the other hand, at least their site is changing the skin every now and then....
