I hate all adds. It's true, some are loud, some are over the text I want to read, but most of all (like 99%) are for people living in the US. Suppose I was braindead and I really wanted to win a free Nokia phone or a free Ipod, I can't because I live in Europe. And if they are so smart, how come they can't read my IP so they can pop some RELEVANT adds ? If they are trying to sell their products, they sure as hell could do a better job.
Yeah ? Look at it this way. It's not like Indonesia has the latin alphabet or the majority of people there know more than a few English. So how much Linux software supports the Indonesian alphabet ? How many OPEN OFFICE Spell-checkers for Indonesian are there ? Face it. They are poor ! They can't afford to lose money on importing Linux programmers that can do all that.
