Doesn't this exclude Apple themselves then as they're main domain isn't advertising ? On the other hand, this should come to the boil quite nicely.

must avoid arguing to defend apple......soo hard to resist



...ads suck

Ads may suck, but as mentioned previously, they support a large number of websites. Some people may be willing to donate to keep websites going, but nobody will support, say, a newly developed website.

Personally, i never click on ads - unless its a good deal offered by a reputable etailer. After a while you don't notice them - exculding that stupid women in the windows 7 adverts (the videos on HEXUS).

Why's that defending Apple? They want to use their own ad system.

Apple; realienating all our partners, developers, and sidelining competition since 1996.

thanks for saving me there,

yeah apple and ads suck

Meh, seems to me that Apple are just following the 2 simple rules of business:
1. Get market share
2. Exploit market share

Although it kinda puts their diatribe over Adobe's lack of openness in a different light.

Well I for one am going to enjoy watching Apple suffer under the monopoly laws like Microsoft has done in the past.

Push, squeeze, bully, intimidate... Is it really necessary to do all of these things to become successful or is it a result of having become successful already?

I seem to remember Apple's approach to competition being that of "make it better that everyone else's". If they get the maniacal world-dominance, that they seem to want to wrest from the even more un-worthy Microsoft, how long before they're shovelling substandard products out (again)?

What the hell has happened to that company???

I hope the antitrust guys clamp onto this so that the Apple fanboys can start jumping up and down at the unfairness. Haha...

it would be interesting to see an Apple add that doesn't have lies in it...
