Re: Time for some new software Tools like this already exist, though they don't load
pr0n sites continuously.
One of them is called Anti-Phorm Lite. There's also a
Firefox plug-in that does this, and an another one to
foil search engine tracking called TrackMeNot.
If ISPs want to inject ads, then more users are going to
pollute their databases with noise.

Riverhead, NY | I don't have a problem with someone like Google/MSN/Yahoo "tracking" me. It's helping out a resource which I use heavily (in this case, Google).
What I would have a problem with is someone giving me advertisements, tracking me and selling my data - and me seeing nothing in return! Cut my bill! Pro-rate a month! Something!
Google gives me accurate and meaningful results - I'll continue to contribute to that. ISP selling my search results and injecting ads - with nothing in return? The hell with that! |

How about the ISPs not raising your monthly rates, or raising as much as they would need to if they didn't have these additional revenue generators? Seem like a fairly decent return to me. |

Riverhead, NY | It would be....but show me the increased costs which you will be passing on to me, and then show me the percent that the "AdWare" will be reimbursing these costs.
Oh wait...they won't...EVER.... |

kudos:2 | Nor do they need to. You will see all of the financials that you will ever get (unless your are the CFO, or close to him/her) via the 10Q and 10K for public companies. For private companies, you won't even get that. |
