I run adblock on every browser on my computer, but the iPad has no such tool, and that does really harm my browsing experience. I try to stick to Instapaper. I have no problem with companies making money off advertising, but generic banner

They won't see the nagwall. We only had 48 hours :)

Certainly! We weren't paranoid about security. Though you could certainly imagine a system where the content is only loaded after a JS event + cookie combination of a kind.

Skimmer is an experiment that simply re-packaged the content of the times. There are lots of problems with contemporary news design that skimmer didn't even try to address: • The article is a fundamentally bad unit of news for the internet.

All of the ISPs involved also provide cable TV service. That's to say, they have a vested interest in seeing the business model of "copyright holders" continue so that they can receive their affiliate fees. It's little wonder that this deal

I can't speak to Google's actual motivations for developing Chrome, but I think it is safe to say that taking over the browser market is more than a nice side affect. Let's not forget that Google makes their money by targeting Ads, therefor

So… "native HTML5" in IE10 doesn't include 3D graphics?

hmm… there's no ads shown. The design will look really different once the ads are placed.

Confirmed no access at 06:51 PDT, but was able to get through via a proxy server. By the way – the web experience is just that the page hangs. There's no 404, or 'server can't connect' or any other warning message. This type block is indica

Looks like they cut out the "In-Page Analytics" feature. Too bad, it's a great idea but has been eternally buggy.

Huge for B2B business that need to run things like a channel program with logins. Not to mention, the amount of data that just got exposed is insanely valuable. Mashups here we come.

Not to take anything away from Bertrand and go back to the normal tea leaf reading we so enjoy to do with Apple, but … here goes :] Did anyone else notice how the press release was so heavily focused on Steve Jobs? It could almost be read a

What a great example of everything that is wrong with tech journalism today. If you title something "Why XXXX Happened," I figure you've got about 3 grafs to get to start your explanation. This article jumps from Arrington to Rose to Twitte

We can all agree that $75T is a ridiculous number, so what's the legal strategy? The music industry may be in technology denial, but surely, they're not detached from reality. Is there a good legal precedent for asking for so much? Is it ju

The business calculus is a bit strange here. WD and Hitachi are in the part of the storage market that has to be pretty close to it's peak. The HDD business seems to have grown in 2010 http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4213390/Wester

Fair point, but the merits of the book banning system: are that it appears to be relatively difficult to implement or enforce, and that it's restricted to localities instead of a whole country.

hmm… you appear to be right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-commonly_challenge... That brings me to my second question: why don't we have a similar process for websites?
