ADD and website advertising
Web ads should not be allowed to be flashy, animated, or employ sound. I have enough trouble staying focused long enough to read anything without all that crap. I can't use any web browser that doesn't have decent ad-blocking, even though I really don't mind reasonable, non-intrusive ads. And the ones with sound just irritate everyone, seriously. Any web ad using sound might as well say "Just to make sure you don't buy our worthless crap, we're going to piss you off and ruin this web page for you." Seriously, that can only hurt their sales. But anyway, Google Chrome finally has support for extensions, which means it finally has AdBlock+, which means I can actually use it! The ad-blocking still kinda sucks, but combined with the FlashBlock extension it works well enough to stop the worst ads. Of course, I'm still using Firefox mostly, because there's still a lot of problems with rendering in Google Chrome. Plus Firefox has StumbleUpon, so I can just hit a button and find something random I'd never have seen otherwise. It's so awesome. Also, my phone broke, so now I have to wait for them to send me a replacement. That's not so awesome. DJ AnounymOS is awesome. Wait, I'm really off topic now so I'm just gonna hit publish and check if I took my Adderall.
