All those stupid x10 popups have really gotten to me. I will never
buy an x10, because of the ads. I was wondering what your
views were? :D

It is a cool gadget, but I've seen the ad too much to buy it.

Maybe I would buy it if they promised no more ads shown on my computer once its bought
:D

I agree with you. It looks like neat toy, but I can not
stand the ads at all. It not just the x10 ads. I use weather.com
all the time and now they have new form of ads that take up the whole screen. :cool:

Probably not because of their annoying ads. I may just decide to choose a competitor if I ever have a need for one of those things. I'm sure there are plenty of other companies making nearly the same thing.

Only if it includes the people shown in the ads.

BTW, I am hungry.

Ya,
I think I would buy one if the people came with it. (j/k).

What's the use of these cameras anyway?

It's getting worse, I saw my first "no border" popup ad yesterday...all that would have to be done is fill it solid with a clickable ad, make it a pop-behind, and then you would almost have to click on it, even to get to an alt-F4...almost time to turn off JS..then we will all get pop-up-full-screen-flash ads......

Oh well,
Douglas

That's the exact way I look at annoying advertsing - either online, or radio, or TV for that matter. If I'm ever looking for something and I remember an ad that ticked me off, I go out of my way to buy a competitor's product instead.

Thankfully most quality products also have quality ads so the decision is pretty simple :D

I use Yahoo mail and have seen that ad in it's pop-behind form so often, I doubt I would buy one of their products.

I would buy all of them if they cam with the girls, but I don't see why they claim it's the smallest cam in the world. It's still too big too me.
