    50 milliseconds huh?

    Here's my list of things that almost guarantee that I'll leave your site behind, never to look back.

    1 - Music - Your taste in music is not mine. Your music sucks!
    2 - Pages that don't load - It's usually the page that looks like it has exactly what you were searching for too!
    3 - Pages that don't contain the information "as advertised" - you know the ones...you click on a link and it goes to some search page that tries to reset your home page.
    4 - Pages that are more banner ad than web page - Get over it. No one wants to see that much advertising.
    5 - Anything that blinks - Thank god the W3C deprecated the blink tag
    6 - Anything that demands I install a plug-in for "the user experience" - espeically those stupid cursors
    7 - Anything that spawns pop ads
    8 - Anything that doesn't present easy to read and use navigation (www.thetrueagency.com/true.html is a prime example of this)
    9 - Anything that doesn't have a sufficient amount of contrast between the text and the background.
    10 - Anything that uses more than 5 different fonts on the same page - Its a web site, not a comic book.
    11 - Sites that redirect to another redirect - We get the idea that you move - a lot.
    12 - Anything that uses more than 6 colors on the same page - It looks like a circus barfed on your page.

  13. Re:Google Conspiracy? on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    Google is going to take the source from the mozilla suite and keep it going, after renaming it the Google Suite. The google suite will become instantly popular because It has Googles name on it, which will attract many people. It will also attract the old Mozilla Suite users who do not wish to switch to firefox. (im sure google would also incorporate gmail within the email client...)

    Google will then take over the world by putting ads, that know what your eating, on your plates....
