    Stop, Thief! Why Using an Ad Blocker Is Stealing

    As far as I'm concerned web-ads are theft. I have a data cap I can't get around on my home and mobile internet. You're taking money out of my wallet when you display a non-consensual advertisement.

    Stop, Thief! Why Using an Ad Blocker Is Stealing

    If you want me to watch ads then use your power as the press to push for legislation to remove bandwidth caps. I'm not going to waste one ounce of my 250GB Comcast data cap on non-consensual ad data.

    iMac Retina 5K Display Hands-on: Jaw-Dropping Screen

    Xbox One May Soon Get External Storage

    Netflix Could Raise Fee to $15 and Keep Customers

    "Amazon recently raised the price of its Prime video service by $20 to $99 per year." Toppest of keks Tom's Guide, I don't think you are getting enough oxygen. Customers stomach that price hike for Amazon Prime not because of its sub-prime rental service, but for the free 2-day shipping to...
