What's up with this?

ads ads ads..

Sunday, February 15, 2009 by vStyler | Discussion: Community

I noticed recently that I was getting a busy cursor for a lot longer when pages were loaading on WC.

 

Didn't take much sleuthing to realize that it was apparent ad info from googleads and adscentral that is now causing this.

 

Perhaps I've just been sleepsurfing for years and never noticed this but I'm pretty sure that this is a fairly recent change.

 

If it was happening before, the delay at least seems much longer now.

 

The more I surf on WC the more annoying it is becoming to me... Shouldn't WC subscribers be 'immune' to this?

 

not much worse than a busy state cursor when your trying to navigate.

Not when Internet Explorer is SKINNED.

Yes, but when?


Internet Explorer is skinned whenever a person uses Windowblinds.  I've had  IE dressed for over a year now, 24/7.  I'd venture a guess a good majority of the posters of this forum have Windowblinds installed and IE skinned.

 


Chrome too can be dressed. But then, its beautiful without them.


I beg to differ.  Some people attempted to "dress" Chrome, and when Chrome first came out, I tried it, participated in the forums, and downloaded the skins for Chrome -- they were buggy as hell, crashed the browser at least once a day, and any time I downloaded new skins I had to uninstall Chrome and then reinstall it, along with the little funky program to skin it --HUGE PITA!  

I suppose you might think Chrome is beautiful without a skin, but I'm not a fan of plain blue file folders.  If I was, I would spend most of free time staring into my file cabinet, instead of engrossed in Photoshop and Skin Studio 6, skinning Windowblinds, brushing off the kids, the pets, and the husband, totally high on my own creation.

i have been lucky, ever since i subscribed i have never seen ad's

as for chrome, don't like it, don't use it and never will. Maxthon browser for me so basically IE8 but a lot faster and with speed dial like opera the pages load in a flash.

I infrequently see actual ads, but it pissses me severely that page loads are slowed by google analytics and the like.  My business on the net has nothing to do with effing Google, but near on every site I visit... there it is, effing google analytics, snooping on my surfing habits.

So why is it illegal for Google to come snoop on my personal bathroom habits... yet it's legally acceptable to watch my (near) every move on the internet!  Like Google is going to make money out of my WC visits how?

Apart from hackers and proliferators of malware, etc, I can't think of an internet parasite worse than Google...

... other than internet bankers.

 

*rant off*

Geez, why did I let the missus go to Tassie without me... I'm going nuts here on my own!

Gol simply means spherical. Its figurative meaning is derived from a bird's child and round belly of an obese man.

 

When a birds child comes out from an egg it is  round or spherical. That spherical is called 'gol' in hindi.

The birds child is lol, innocent, & stupid.

These two are compared.

 

Now when a person is fat, he has a big round belly which often becomes his identity,  you can confirm this seeing uncle starkers.

So that fat person too is called spherical or gol.
