I don't see what the problem is with Adsense and things like that. Just install AdBlock Pro (or equivalent) and you don't see ads any more... it makes the internet a much nicer place to visit :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Dan Waters Sent: 09 March 2011 14:33 To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] OT: Facebooks assult makes Microsoft crushing of Netscape look charitable I like what Betty White said, "Facebook is a colossal waste of time!"

It is using its massive monopoly to simply crush its competion. http://www.infoworld.com/t/application-development/developers-rage-after-fac ebook-blocks-google-adsense-735 Quote: "When Microsoft crushed Netscape, it did so by controlling the platform and making the alternative seem unnecessary, but it would have been unthinkably brutish for them to disallow another browser," he wrote." But what the App Store and Facebook are doing makes Microsoft's actions look positively charitable."
