  11. Re:the answer is.. on Does Adblock Violate A Social Contract? · · Score: 0

    I would say they are close. Most especially Macromedia Flash ones with sound. Looping over and over again, and they don't ever stop. What is the one main thing that make an e-mail a spam? It's unwanted or "unsolicited" e-mail. So how many ads did you request to see today?

  13. G ogle drops the ball? on Yahoo Adds Search for Creative Commons Content · · Score: 1

    The question is why didn't Google think of this first? When you can install an extension that displays Creative Commons info into Mozilla/Firefox, wouldn't the next logical step be to search specifically for Creative Commons content. Local, Apple, BSD Unix, Linux, Microsoft, even Scholar and Public Service searches. Google is the king of topic-specific searching. What happened?
