I'm not sure if this is possible, but if you can detect that someone is on a cell network and not WiFi on a mobile device, you should either completely disable the ads (it still draws in readers that likely use other devices) or make sure they are extremely efficient from a data point of view...

Furthermore, I've noticed more sites creating EXTREMELY intrusive ads for their mobile sites to the point that 40% of the display is covered in ads. Often times the X is intentionally hard to press so you end up accidentally clicking the ad. Yes, we know it's on purpose. To make things even...

One of the major problems is when sites don't vet the ads they display on their own site. If you are going to allow people to sell homeopathic remedies through ads on your site (for example), then I don't see any reason why I shouldn't block it. Same goes for "get thin fast" nonsense and the odd...

I like systems that act to prevent an accident or attempt to mitigate the damage, but I am completely against the idea that ALL cars should drive themselves everywhere. You can't tell me that my insurance won't go up if I decide to drive a car that does NOT have that system (when they become...

BLAME COMCAST! They charged Netflix and now netflix is passing that expense to us. This is EXACTLY what I expected would happen. Send your complaints to comcast and to your legislators so they know what they've done is wrong.

"The Obama administration is preparing to submit a bill to lawmakers that would make it possible for law enforcement officials to 'wiretap the internet' if they need to." Possible? They're doing it right now...

"But alas, Google was rejected by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. "Surely Congress did not intend to condone such an intrusive and unwarranted invasion of privacy when it enacted the Wiretap Act to protect against the unauthorized interception of electronic communications," the...

Because Ouya was so successful?

Why are we still buying products from companies that censor content? Unless it's child porn, why the hell should Google or Apple care how we use products we PAID FOR!?

Wake up sicofante, do you honestly think the US government ISN'T spying on Americans simply because they said so? How naive. Here's a big fleshy middle finger from Americans to you. Instead of being a douche, why not work WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE in pushing for encryption in nearly everything...

The United States is at a crossroads. We can either squash this blatant violation of our rights, or we can simply lay down and allow them to be stripped from us. Where is Anon when it really counts?

"America is not interested in spying on ordinary people," Obama said. "We have significant capabilities. We show restraint many governments don't even think to show or consider." It doesn't matter how much restraint the current government shows, only the capability matters. The Obama...

"It will cover expenses that AT&T incurs" I thought that's what my F%@&ing BILL WAS FOR! "Because it is labeled as an administrative fee and not an increase in service charges, it doesn't constitute a breach of contract" And this is just semantics. Someone needs to file a class action lawsuit...

"The gun was loaded and went off" Guns don't just "go off," that idiot pulled the trigger. She may not have MEANT to pull it, but the trigger was pulled.

ChilledLJTHe 2GB he was referring to was the common 2 GB GDDR5 found in graphics cards, the PS4 was 8GB graphics mem. People already been talking that next gen console ports gonna need graphics cards with huge amounts of memory What, exactly, do you currently need 8GB of graphics memory for...
