    Sure, but he also made other tweets that threatened people with coming to their house to strangle and stab them.

    Because only someone butthurt and humorless would think that Jeremy was making a real threat? That's a far cry from the person talked about in this article that threatened to strangle and stab people.

    Awwwww, does someone need the waaahmbulance? And how exactly am I a "huge Apple dick rider"? I've criticized Apple on many occasions but your butthurt is pretty funny nonetheless.

    It's amazing that he's also modded as "informative" when he's actually quite the opposite since the TOS clearly states that they don't care and the user holds all liability in viewing any content posted to this site.

    Sure you could, but you are part of a small minority of users. A far cry from the 80% they are seeing.

    You misunderstand the clause. It's a disclaimer against users posting what could be legally ruled as libelous content. It has nothing to do with preventing morons from clicking porn links.

    There's a pretty simple fix for that issue. Don't click on random links while at work. Geeknet doesn't give two fucks that you did something that stupid.

    I'd be willing to be I appear very much like the "no Javascript bot" to their analytics program.

    Sure, if you were also registering ad clicks when you had Javascript disabled.

  15. Re:Cui bono? on Company Claims 80% of Facebook Ad Clicks Are From Bots · · Score: 5, Informative

    Simple. Go to Facebook and disable Javascript. Ads are now no longer visible. How else other than through a bot or some extra effort do you guess that these ads are being clicked when the ads aren't visible?

  16. Re:Nice finding, hope some could confirm on Company Claims 80% of Facebook Ad Clicks Are From Bots · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's easy to confirm. Disable Javascript on Facebook and the ads disappear. It's pretty unlikely most people are disabling Javascript then finding alternative means to click the ads anyway unless they're a bot.

  17. Re:Javascript turned off? on Company Claims 80% of Facebook Ad Clicks Are From Bots · · Score: 5, Informative

    No, but you also won't be clicking on the ads since they are no longer visible without Javascript.

  18. Re:If you don't have javascript, you're a bot? on Company Claims 80% of Facebook Ad Clicks Are From Bots · · Score: 5, Informative

    Since the ads require Javascript to be visible, yes. If you don't believe me just disable Javascript on Facebook and watch as all the ads disappear until you reenable it.

  22. Re:A lot faster than I thought on Apple In Trouble With Developers · · Score: 1

    Except that a bunch of good apps that used to be on the app store aren't there anymore.

    And by "a bunch" you mean a handful that in no way implies "droves" of developers leaving?

    You do of course know that all of Apple's own software has to cheat the rules right? None -- absolutely zero -- of their desktop apps are or can be sandboxed, and for stuff like Xcode and lion they simply resort to simply shipping the installer through the store rather than building support for this kind of stuff in from the beginning.

    No shit? How else do you expect something like XCode to work if it's sandboxed? You realize you a sandbox makes things like debuggers worthless, right?

    Except there is no evidence that developers are "leaving in drones" neither from the linked blog posting or anything from the summary. That was just sensationalism added in to rile up the Apple crowd.
