THE INCESSANT ANIMATION, colour changes etc of the current crop of ads have forced me to take action when viewing your site.

A simple sheet of white paper sticky taped over the right hand side of the monitor made a wonderful improvement.

To the advertisers GeForce 4 Ti, Kingston et al:

GROW UP! With offensive ads like that I'm going to hunt out your competitors. No way are you getting my money after you've made it so difficult just to read the news that I've got to blank out your ads so I can read from the inqwell without having an epileptic fit.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
