| So what exactly is the problem with behavioral ads? I'm not getting what the problem is. Free apps are going to have ads so the choice is do you want ads that are beyond irrelevant to you or do you want ads that may have a remote chance of being relevant to you?
I would refer somewhat relevant ads. And those that don't can opt out once Apple gets their shat together and recognizes iOS4 when it sees it. (I just tried the oo too using the golden master and it doesn't think I'm running iOS4).

| It's the fact that the app is using YOUR bandwith, which YOU a paying a premium for, to push you an ad. When you're capped at a paltry 2G a month, those KB's add up quick.
I played a version of "Whack-A-Mole" with ads when I was with Wildblue, trying to cut down on every KB I could to keep from hitting the 70% FAP threshold. Those (@*#& streaming ads were a serious nuisance.
It's like someone sending you an ad through your fax machine. Uses your line, your printer, your paper and toner. Only in this case it's your kb's. |

1 edit | Then don't click the iAd or better don't use free ad supported software.
What, you not going to use the browser either? No email...what if you get junk mail?
The banner uses what, 3K, maybe...out of 200,000KB or 2,000,000KB depending on your plan. The rest doesn't come unless it's clicked.
What happens if you are put on hold while you are using your cell minutes? Who are you going to complain to then?
