			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I decided to try for a google+ invite. Went to one site that said to post and ask for an invite and users on the site who have them will send you one. Seems to me I did this at the same website when I got my gmail invite. Couldn&#8217;t post. Page errored out. numerous times.</p>
<p>Some other page made you jump through hoops, &#8216;course they were just link bait. Thanks d-bags. I&#8217;ve already removed all the hoops. Feeping d-bags.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ambled on over to the parallels site to register the software.</p>
<p>much to my suprise i was unable to order it. the site was broken for firefox (who doesn&#8217;t make their site compatible with firefox?). i filled out the order form but there was no &#8220;next&#8221; or &#8220;submit&#8221; button. i managed to find it cleverly hidden on the web page and finally clicked to the page where i could chose payment. usually i pick paypal if the options is available. but when it got to the page that would re-direct you to paypal, but button was non-existent there was text there but nothing clickable.</p>
<p>so i decided to start the whole process over again this time using the firefox extension <strong>ie tab</strong>. the &#8220;next&#8221; buttons showed up, but when i chose the payment method again, it said thanks for your order and gave me an order reference number. no redirect to paypal.</p>
<p>ok, i&#8217;ll just leave feedback tell them a few things are broken. turns out you need your key before you can get &#8220;free email support&#8221; there was an option to leave feed back if you weren&#8217;t a customer, but they took down fewer details. the email will probably get lost in the shuffle.</p>
<p>because it mishandled the paypal payment option so badly i&#8217;m hesitant to actually use my credit card to order&#8230; if i don&#8217;t hear from them soon, i&#8217;ll try that out. i don&#8217;t actually expect that to work either.</p>
