Re: "It looks like you're using an ad blocker" - no go - 5 years ago

Cult of Mac web site has a slightly different approach. Even with ad blocker on they fade to a full web page ad for about 10 seconds. Cult of Mac has become so slow and full of ads I hardly ever read it anymore.

QuoteC(-)ris Factory restore it and see if it comes up as icloud locked. If it is, hand it over to police in a week. If not, enjoy your new iPod. You have to get past the passcode to find out if Find My iPod is turned on.

I don't think you get any hard copy of a movie from Amazon. If I remember you have 30 days to watch it and 24 hours once you start watching it.

QuoteLux Interior If I were President, the first thing I would do is make people use carriage returns for legibility. Then I would send out a tweet saying that the government does not run the credit reporting agencies. Please address your concerns to the invisible hand of the free market.

Re: What ads are we really hating now? - 5 years ago

QuoteFrank All the ads for prescription drugs and the long list of contraindications! Love my TiVo for those times I remember to fast forward through the bad ads. Oh yes, the TiVo green button (skips all commercials). The only problem with that is it also skips previews of upcoming shows etc. I sometimes like to see those.
