too many commercials everywhere

[Moveon]

Youtube has been a problem for me. First the ad at the beginning but then on videos longer than 10 minutes theres another ad about midway through. Really aggravating.

My local news paper is getting bad at trying to make you view a video and not allowing you to turn it off. And these videos start up on their own. I didn't press a play button. I was able to mute the volume but still the video is playing and taking up band width. Therefore it slows down scrolling the screen that I'm trying to read. It's the slow loading up of the text article that I'm trying to read that makes me upset. I mean I paid to have a fast CPU, Lots of Memory and a fast GPU video card and then pay to have fast cable modem internet access with plenty of bandwidth and I didn't do that to watch unwanted advertisements that pop up where I don't want them. How dare these people try to stuff ads down our throats. And on CNN it's getting to the point where you have to watch an ad before you can read the next article. Same way on MSNBC web site. I'm about ready to just take these two web sites off my favorites list and be done with them all together. Just because of the unwanted video ads that they force us to watch before we can read the next article or see a video that we wanted to see. They are copying the way TV works. On Cable TV we pay to have them combine many channels into one cable but we have to watch ton's of commercials during each and every show. And half the channels on cable (WOW) are nothing more than full time advertisements trying to sell stuff. On WOW basic cable there are only a few channels worth watching out of the many that they give to us. And they ruined the History channel years ago by taking out all the military history stuff and spinning that off as a separate military channel. Now one has to pay more to get the Military Channel and you can't just buy that one separately you have to buy a bundle of channels and music that you don't really want. And then to top if off they charge more for the basic cable while eliminating several more channels from the line up. They claim that programming costs are the reason an try to blame the TV producers of the shows.

That sounds great. Are these cheat codes on a website or will they tell you if you call?

On a phone, you're basically screwed by the ads., but on your machine, install ad-block plus. IT works on all browsers, IE, Chrome, Mozilla. It is awesome. simply awesome, and blocks most everything.

I'll have to try that one. I'm using Internet Explorer's latest version and it's crashing a lot. I'm almost ready to try Windows ten when it comes out. I Use windows 8.1 on my New Notebook Gaming Computer and Windows 7 on my 4 year old Desktop. Both these computers seem to run slower these days. I've run a virus protection program all the time with both computer and use CCleaner to keep them clean and fresh too. And I run to other adware removable programs on both computers from time to time. I'm starting to think that Internet Explorer is the culprit. I changed the wireless connection speed tonight and that seemed to help with the Notebook Gaming Computer which is the faster one with the Intel I7 CPU. The GPU is faster too. And so is the memory speed. Both systems have 8 Gigabyes of Ram installed in them.

Right Now Windows 10 is free if you sign up to download it when it first comes out in a little while.

One word. Or is it two? Haha
Netflix
Amazon Prime

Recently (within the past month) both of my mom's TV's went out on her. I bought her a new Sony Bravia for her back bedroom so that she could watch TV in bed at night. Then her other living room TV went out and I got her another bigger Sony Bravia TV for that room. Both of them have a NetFlex button on the remote controls.

Now when I use the remote home button I can get U tube on the TV's. Pretty cool watching my favorite U tube videos on the Bigger 40" TV. Well it's bigger than my 23" Computer screen.

I had trouble with Windows 10 updates today but got that figured out. It's always something with these computers.

Now they are putting computers inside my tv?

Used to be I only had time during the commercials to go p-p or grab another drink.

Now, I can mow the lawn, wash the truck, and paint half the den without missing any portion of the next segment of my show.

Brilliant....simply brilliant.

Mie has not been turned on for three days now. I WONT WATCH TV THAT I PAY FOR, THATS ONLY SHOWING COMMERCIALS IT SEEMS. I'm not in the market for a car, I'm to old and finally smart enough to know that bachlor hood is a reward. thank God for netflix, amazon prime, and hulu. In the car, its NPR, or cds. My E book keeps me occupied. There is no more night or day, dessert at any time. Booze for breakfast. Got a giant bottle of tylonol, which may be part of my estate. All I want is topless merry maids to clean my house once a week!
