    This comic pretty much sums up what I think of Google's "adblocker". Or as I like to call it, "ad-sieve" because it only weeds out those ads that don't pay protection money to Google.

    If I want to play a second video, I open a second browser window and play the video. Care to inform me what I'd want about this contraption?

    Wait, your Windows asks you? Mine just shuts down on me and takes all my work with it to the depths of Hades. Unless of course I want it to.

    That comic says it better than I ever could.

    I wish we could but no, we cannot. This is merely a start.

    Appliance manufacturers have a problem. You're using your appliances for too long. When do you buy a new fridge? Well, when the old one doesn't keep your beer cold anymore. And the new stove is due when the old one doesn't get your sausages warm anymore.

    And they look in envy over to the TV makers who get to sell you a new one every other year, despite the old one still being quite ok and fine. And they want in on that game. Not to mention all the sweet extra cash from selling your habits. When you shop, what you buy, what you eat, what you throw away, so many juicy info tidbits that could be monetized so incredibly well.

    We'll get to see more of this. Much, much more. Not because the customer wants it. The customer doesn't give half a shit about whether his toaster is on snapchat. But the manufacturer sure is interested in this. Not only for the info.
