  • Still Getting Pop-up Ads in Firefox?

    If you go to Drudge Report and probably other sites, there is a way for "them" to still insert pop-up ads in Firefox even though you have them disabled.

    It has to do something with plug-ins and extensions.

    Here is a link to a how-to to make them stop (at least it worked on Drudge Report).

  • Technology Ads in ESPN Magazine

    August 7, 2005

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    I am not a big sports guy in the sense of that I usually read the Sports Page first or subscribe to a sports related magazine.  But I do follow baseball, football, and occasionally golf.

    Christy’s brother Brian has been getting ESPN magazine and the issue 8.16 for 15Aug05 was waiting for him to read at our house after returning from vacation but he is now on an extended stay on the East Coast. 

    So … I was thumbing through it before it went in the recycle,  and the technology related ads caught my eye, here is the list that I saw for sure:

    • EA Sports Madden 06
    • Toyota Matrix
    • Net10 "Pay As You Go" Cellphones
    • Memorix 2-GB USB TravelDrive
    • Microsoft Windows XP
    • LG -USA mobile communications
    • Motorola Razrwire
    • Best Buy

    The other thing that caught my eye was the ESPY Style 2005 Gift Bag.  There was a good amount of tech included: Bose, Keurig, Panasonic, Sony, Timbuk2, Voicestick, and XM Radio.

  • iPod Shuffle Differences

    August 7, 2005

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    Today’s Fry’s Electronics had the Apple iPod Shuffle 512MB for $94.

    Right next to it was the AV8 1GB MP3/WMA Player with LCD Display, FM Radio, and Voice Recorder for $79.99.

    I guess Apple’s $14 advantage is iTunes music, simplier user interface, and being hip. 😉
