Google, Amazon 'n' pals fork out for AdBlock Plus 'unblock' – report

billreilly

My website relies on ads to pay for it, otherwise I couldn’t afford to keep it going… If too many people start using ad blocking software then I’ll lose all my advertisers and I’ll have to close it down.

The alternative is to start charging people money to access my website.

There are many websites in the same boat… websites that all of you use every day.

Are you people who use ad blocking software willing to pay a subscription for every website that you use?

Windows 8 early-bird users still love Windows 7 more - poll

The title is incorrect

The title is incorrect, as the survey participants were not all Windows 8 users... According to the survey only 26% of the participants had ever used Windows 8... Therefore, as 25% of the participants preferred Windows 8, that means that 96% of Windows 8 users preferred Windows 8... a bit different then what you'd like us to believe...
