I use ad blockers. period. always will. If your goal (or primary concern) in setting up a website is to make money, I suggest you are in the wrong business. I don't allow solicitors to throw crap on my lawn or leave junk by my front door either. I use comskip on my HTPC so that my family & I don't have to watch crappy advertising on TV. I pay a monthly fee for television access, a monthly fee for Internet access, and god-knows-how-much of my taxes go to support the companies that spew all of this advertising. If you want to block me from reading content on your site because I exercise my right to only look at what I want to look at, screw you. I don't need Ars or any other website that thinks this way and I WILL go somewhere else!
I have found that having a Blackberry has greatly enhanced my work life balance. Having a manager who's not afraid to let us work from home, I can put in several hours each morning in the office and then finish the rest of my day from home. I get up early, get to work, finish whatever needs to be done and any morning meetings, then head home or run errands. All the while staying in touch with my coworkers & boss. At 5pm most communications stop anyway. What could be better?
