It is true, when instapundit say he liked the gillette fusion razor I gave it a try but mostly I block ads with Firefox, adblock plus and filterset g updater firefox ad-ons, also noscript. No script is becoming more useful as java script ads hang up page loading and are starting to have malware embeded in the banner ads. For users of google and gmail I recommend the firefox ad-on called customize google, this lets you block the ads on google, gmail etc and do other very useful things. where do you go these things? firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ adblockplus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 filterset g updater https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1136 noscript https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 customize google https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/743 Let me tell you --after using firefox with these ad-ons my web browsing experience is a much calmer experience and when I am forced to us internet explorer I feel assaulted on the web and it is quite unpleasant I am pretty ad and interruption (interruptions are the worst for me) intolerant and watch recorded tv on comcast DVR and skip ads. when I have to watch tv with ads (rarely, thankfully) i want to tear my eyes out as it is so boring and annoying and insulting and continuity breaking. After a year of no ads on tv and no interruptions, regular commercial tv is almost unwatchable. sorry guys but I am part of the reason the ads are appearing in the right corner and bottom of the screen during the show. The engineers at motorola and tivo left the 30 skip button hidden as an "easter egg" inside the remote after they were asked to remove it and you can replace it by following the instructions below. Once you go to the 30 skip button you will never go back to fast forward. my favorite show NYPD blue has 4 4minute ad interruptions... but not for me....8 clicks and the show resumes. it takes me 42 minutes to watch the hour show. here is the motorola code to remap an unused button to do 30 second skip. I use the B button but you will want to choose one that you don't use. http://www.pdxtc.com/wpblog/technology-articles/comcast-remote-30-second-skip-commercials-motorola-dct3412/ you can also do it on tivo http://bigmarv.net/how/tivo30secondskip.html I know that ads support the media but I just don't want to watch them, the really good ads I catch online or see on a best of show, some of them are quite good and the best ones have improved over the 2 years we have been doing this. cheers and happy surfing, this letter brought to you by air, breathe it everyday.
