    Enjoy. Thoroughly.

    David Free is the owner of a startup called MacPadd that sells Mousepads for Macintosh machines. Simple right?

    Well, TomsHardware wanted to buy one for a review. When it didnt surface in the expected time (A week), And they were never sent a Shipment Tracking Number. They tried contacting MacPadd, which lead to a hilarious series of events, many of which are due to the fact that Mr. Free apparently has the maturity of a 12 year old.

    He is now under investigation by the Canadian Competition Bureau and has his own F-grade page on the BBB. He's being charged with falsely advertising his product as having medical benefits (Antibacterial surface: Resistant to H1N1 [Note: Not a Bacteria at all]) which is a gravely serious offense.

    You should read the full 3 articles or so when you have time, but the moral of the story is investigate anyone you plan to do business with.

    This is a Gem from one of the Company's official responses to TomsHardware:
    David Free wrote:
    "Have you thought of getting emotional therapy? Your are truly a disturbed person and your correspondence will be sent to the CEO [Whom is also, David Free]. Get a life you are truly disturbed person."
