Citibank Doesn't Want Your Business, Linux User
For some reason, Citibank won't let customers using Linux computers log in to their online accounts. Adam argues that in 2009 this doesn't make sense, especially when no other major corporate website blocks him like this.
I'm writing about a longstanding issue I've had with Citibank. Given that it's now 2009 and web account management has transitioned from a fringe benefit to "the way business is done," I frequently struggle with Citibank because they seem to have decided to not support Linux and Firefox as clients for their online credit card account management sites. A quick Google search of "citibank Linux" will pull back loads of hits of people complaining about this issue and all sorts of inventive workarounds. I don't want to mess around with inventive workarounds, I want to be able to access my accounts online from my PC like I do for my cell phone provider, three other banks, my 401k manager, my school and scores of other places where online paperwork takes place as part of the business of real life. I'm even able to do online business with the State of New York, the State of Calfifornia, the IRS and even some obscure federal agencies. It is 2009, if we don't get jetpacks, I at least expect my bank to have a website that supports all the major platforms.

OS Discrimination
OS discrimination is bad bad bad! abc.com is the same way. I can watch shows on nbc.com and cbs.com but not abc.com.

re: Citibank
Wow, you'd have to be a Rocket Scientist to solve this problem.
Here's a hint - VOTE WITH YOUR FREAKING DOLLARS. In other words if you're not getting the service you think you're paying for - GO SOMEPLACE ELSE.
Geesh, you gotta wonder how whiners like these ever get past the "my shoelace has a knot - whatever shall I do" points of their lives.
