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 :-)

I like what Betty White said, "Facebook is a colossal waste of time!"

I received this post in the mail and thought I would pass it along

Facebook is trying to control the market by only allowing business interests that that cater to them. It is using its massive monopoly to simply crush its competion.

"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."
