And I'm using a program that kills all browser window popups before
they even appear.  There's no long-term future in more intrusive
advertising as a support for content.  As it gets more intrusive, the
software to stop it will get more sophisticated and easier to use.

This verges on out of context social commentary, but I really can't
see what can be accomplished by more advertising, in games or anywhere
else.  We've reached the point where the average savings of the
american consumer is a negative number, just where is more sales
supposed to come from?
