yes

I don't know why so many people fell for his scheme, he didn't invent anything, he just made it pricey by implementing it with hardware.

I've never seen an add in a youtube video. I didn't even know they had them until I saw comments about ads in the comment section from people who didn't have adblock.

great stuff!!

But I wouldn't buy it. I simply don't surf the web enough or use pages with ads to a point where I would pay $130 for a device.

But I'm sure there is people that would love this thing.

I can some HUGE lawsuits coming their way though....

So he turned a free piece of software widely available for years into a $139 piece of hardware?

Fair play to the guy, he is going to make $1000's of computer illiterate morans.

Next step is to slap a "Monster" label on it and sell it at Best Buy for $500.

Who is that reporter? She used to do the market news on the Today show, then moved to MSNBC, and now she's on CNN?

Oh looks like she got pregnant in June. Never understood why women use it as a licence to pack on tons of fat and eat non stop. I know you get cravings but it's like they just totally let it all go and go hog wild eating.

Enjoy reading Anandtech and the forums? What percentage of the revenue from Anandtech are from ads? I would say a good majority. Too many people start using these devices and adblock, current revenue models disappear and so do the websites.

Right, but how many people are gonna actually use the whitelists?


How many sites slap so much god damn advertising all over the place it takes 10 times longer to load the page than it should and looks like crap. It is a 2 way street. Adblock wouldn't exist if there wasn't a problem.

Anandtech has decent ads and places them sensibly.
