Information you all looooove to know

http://www.x10.com/x10ads.htm

click on this link on their page, scroll down to the last question and click on the link there, you will now be free of those popups for the next 30 days. You can also copy that link and edit to get rid of it for more than 30 days.

I wonder how to prolong the 30 days, make it go for 5 years or something.

I say we go to their offices (if they have any) and beat the goddamn living snot out of them. Screw just disabling for 30 days. What do you say?

this almost qualifies as a hot deal!


Just for all those annoying pop-up ads, I dont plan to buy an x10 product. But then I was never going to anyways...

As a web developer who has read articles on usability, the very existence of x10.com offends me. I have trouble sleeping at night knowing that a company so dim witted and moronic as x10 would use a ludicrously under-handed advertising scheme which seems to revolve around annoying users and planting subliminal messages. I am personally ashamed to even be in the same field as these bozos. I hope their company goes down the tubes and the people who thought of this pop-up (sorry &quot;pop-under&quot;) ad campaign end up living on the streets for the rest of their life.

<end rant>

I wish some hackers hacked x10, and made their popups say stupid stuff about the company.

That sounds like something a HACKER would say ;)
