Is IE7 filtering out Google Ads?

You can click for a larger view… I’m not the only one who’s noticed. Internet Explorer 7 blocking Google AdSense IE7 disables javascript with the security setting on “high”, which would not allow AdSense ads to show along with numerous features of most websites.

Further Proof that People Don’t Understand The Internet

Even though the Update to this post on TechCrunch about Last.fm and the RIAA says that Last.fm hasn’t handed over any user data to the RIAA, um, guess what? There’s at least 3 different websites (and those are just the ones I know of) (that are pretty easy to find with a simple Google search) [...]

Facebook has made everyone a blogger

And I’m willing to bet most people don’t even realize it. Since Facebook added comments to just about everything that passes through the News Feed, it’s created a microblog for every member of the network. I now feel justified laughing at people (at least, behind their backs) who thought I was weird for having 3+ [...]
