Don't get me wrong, I'm all for reducing malware but these are major players coming together in a concerted effort to filter the internet.

Is it good? Is it bad?

Too early to tell but it does worry me a little.

But if they're coming together in order to filter the adverts, is that a problem? They can censor every advert (or none) for all I care!

There is a little difference between a Ram chip that says Simsing and has a logo similar to Samsung but distinguishable, and those who you cannot tell, faking 3d logos and the consumer having to keep up to date with minor differences in logo evolution, double check everything, and buy to physical shops.
The former are trying to get some sales from the similarity in brands. The later are crocks.

the only thing bad in these things are really the battery and if you know how, its not to hard to replace them with something better.

My question is: Is there such a thing as good advertisements?

I hope it will stop those fking "Penis Enlargement" ads on Gmail accounts

 

[maako]

There could be major censoring at stake..

Google is just tailoring them based on your email content. Do you frequently talk about your small penis?

The irony is that these two serve up probably a large majority of the internet's ads anyway. And they are evil companies in themselves.

I thought this article would be about Google's own horrible Google+/Chrome ads.

Hopefully this will mean an end to those retarded ads that promise to tell of a "weird trick" to...lower your car insurance, look 20 years younger, get instant six-pack abs, etc. Does anyone actually click on those? Or any internet banner ads for that matter? I use adblock plus on my computers at home, but at work I can't have that installed for technical reasons, and I'm getting pretty sick of seeing that crappy animated gif of the lady dancing because she was pre-approved on the internet for a loan.

As long as you are paying, Fakebook are more than happy to take your cash. Due diligence doesn't seem to count when money is involved. Just this evening I have been bombarded with ads from various different companies promoting very cheap Uggs all pointing to the Chinese based website http/london-uggaustralia.com which I duly reported to Facebook only to get their 'not really interested' standard reply. Charter member my arse!
