I tend to agree with most of the threads that there are some incredibly annoying ads out there. Many of which use tactics of trickery and annoyance to get clicks. However, I must bring this thread back to the original post, and ask what DoubleClick has to do with this. I quote from the original post "DoubleClick is a leading provider of products and services used by direct marketers, web publishers and advertisers to plan, execute and analyze marketing programs." So if I am not mistaken, DoubleClick is not making these ads that you are all complaining about. They are just providing the products and services to clients who are making the ads. I would equate this with a lawsuit against Macromedia for a flash movie on some lowly site that people found to be offensive. Am I wrong on this?
HCI - Human Computer Interaction. It is a new major at such schools as CMU, Georgia Tech (the program I am in), UMich and a couple others. It addresses just this fact, that software is simply not made usable. Maybe it will be the up and coming craze, to "make software so that our mothers can use it"... or at least those of us in the major hope so.

Works with Verizon for me, not sure why you are having problems with it.
