"2. Uninstall Flash, you don't need that proprietary junk, 99% of all flash animations are ads/banners anyways."
But what about the 1% that's entertaining or useful? I'm a huge webtoon fan, so if I uninstalled Flash, I'd be losing the use of some of my favorite websites.
And I know I'm playing devil's advocate here, but most banner ads don't serve adware, spyware, or viruses. If they did, this wouldn't be news.
Amen to that! So many games are lauded for their amazing graphics, but their gameplay, quite frankly, sucks. Take Myst, for example. Everyone keeps saying it's amazing. Yes, the graphics are gorgeous, but I was utterly unsure of what the hell I was supposed to do. Even my dad, who's been gaming since the '80s, was baffled.
On the other hand, some games have mediocre graphics, but are just a ton of fun to play. Look at the arcade games of yesteryear. Tetris and Pac-Man and their ilk are still fun games, even though their graphics are now horribly out-of-date. And why would they need better graphics? If they're fun to play, the graphics really don't matter. (Of course, sometimes games have graphics so bad you can't look at the screen without vomiting, but I can't think of any examples right now.) Beauty is only skin-deep, after all.

I know I sound stupid for this, but can you link to that? I'd like to try it out.

I wonder how many of those comments, if they came mostly from MySpace users, were in proper English? I'm guessing 10 at the most.
