myslashdotusername's Journal: Google is Teh Evil SPAMMER

If you hate Spam, you hate google. but first off, why you "shouldn't" hate spam. Think about it all teh 31337 spammer is trying to do is find you the products you never knew you were gonan die if you didn't BUY NOW for TEH CONSUMER FENZY!one!!!

So google runs teh 1337 spyware on there own googleframe, and they know who you are because of teh cookies that you accept from them... and the 'ads' they 'bombard' you with are all carefully planned out so as to not cause you blunt psychological trauma as you try to find what you went to google/gmail/googlegroups to find. But in teh end they give you that 1337 gig of free email tons of bandwith, and a great service, all because they figured out a way to spam you so as not to upset you.

Evil, ain't it. They built a better mouse trap, instead of crapflooding you with useless crap they build nice spyware algorythoms that figure out what's going on in your measly little head to make you spend money you didn't have all to feed there need to build a better way of indexing the vast archives of data on teh internet. I told you they are teh evil SPAMMER :)

[kesuki]

only if it was 'unsolicited' as in not 'requested' :) i know it's a pretty hard line, and some people might be more generous, but frankly, i don't give a damn. hey, advertisments aren't going away, and lots of people make a lot of money making ads 'better' and more 'effective.' I'm still expecting some one to adapt the 'pop up video' technology into some sort of 'in program' advertisment model.. although sci-fi etc have been know to run ads for programs along a bar at the bottom of the screen etc.

If it's done the same as the ones I see here, you can see through the ad from the inside of the car.
