Re: Maybe someone should be asking why Google saves info

i see no reason in using FF. IE works just fine for me. And in a lot of sites its only IE. Why have FF and have to make websites "think" i'm using IE? Just use IE and get it over with.

I said the same thing before I realized I was an idiot for using IE over FireFox 2 years ago.

I guess you can call me a google hater too. I for one hope they lose against Viacom and against the 1billion they're being sued for against "their" contact transfer program.

remember...most savvy users have AdBlock running, so to us it seems as though websites stopped using ads altogether. Yes, it's that effective.
I do as well. I had to turn it off to get that screen capture in my earlier post.

They post Copyrighted material on YouTube and then push ads in a lot of the videos or on the sides of the pages. You don't say they don't make any money off it?
Huh? Where are the ads on youtube?
Here is one. There are many more.



See the HONDA ad.

Really? Google posts copyrighted info? Is that so? I guess all ISP's post copyrighted info then as well?

"Safe Harbor." Guys like you want the ISP's and sites to be the Net Nanny/Jack Booted Thugs Gestapo. I don't. As long as they remove copyrighted works in compliance with the DMCA, they do nothing illegal.
