Via Slashdot comes this Fox News article about people’s frustrations with pop-up ads, especially the pervasive X-10 ads.
How pervasive are the X-10 ads? I was watching a clip on Sports Center where an infielder flubbed a routine pop-up and the broadcaster said that something like, “That’s the worst handling of a pop-up I’ve seen other than X-10.”
Personally I didn’t really have much of an opinion one way or the other until I tried web surfing with my wife’s laptop which is a 233 mhz K6 with about 32mb of RAM — the last thing you want to happen when running this machine is for a new window to randomly open up.
The X-10 technology is very cool, but their ads leave a lot to be desired.
