I use Firefox+Adblock Plus for exactly the same reason I have a DVR (pause/fast-forward commercials); I'm tired of the constant flood of mind numbing ads everywhere you turn these days. If I can find a way to disable/bypass an ad or commercial I will use it, and if someone wants to block me for doing that I will not be coming back with different browser.

Submission + - Should Games Be More Boring?

An anonymous reader writes: At Gamasutra, 'serious games' creator Ian Bogost is making the case that video games should be more mundane, particularly discussing of Nintendo' Brain Age: "It's certainly a very different kind of game from Halo or even Miyamoto's own Zelda series, games that allow the player to inhabit complex fantasy worlds. Instead, much of Brain Age's success seems to come precisely from the ordinariness of its demands." Would games become more accessible if they tapped into everyday things a little bit more, as opposed to spiralling off into fictional realities?
