About those pictures of all the ad shit on the Verge :

nilay patel ‏@reckless
@aprofetto Do you pick up print magazines and act all confused too?

Adam Profetto ‏@aprofetto
@reckless Hah come on man.  You're defending that picture with the comparison of a print magazine?

nilay patel ‏@reckless
@aprofetto Yes, absolutely. Recreating the best of print on the web was the vision from the start.

Can't stand designing the web like print, it's an entirely different medium. This is the kind of jerk who thinks that PC versions of things should just ignore the scroll wheel even though it's better than clicking all over the god damn place.

Maybe rethink your revenue stream? Nah, lets break the horse's mouth, force it to drink and then lament after it leaves.

The persona community IS composed of a bunch of whiny babies, so that much isn't a surprise.

I laughed when I say that the Gravity Rush thread got so bad with people whining about no Vita that they had to issue a ban warning. Christ, the Vita is my preferred handheld and I still think its nothing to whine about.

Is your average college really that bad these days? I went to college in southern California, graduated not more than a couple years ago and while I lived off campus, I'd be anyway there due to having to study day and night. Can't say I ever saw or heard of any problems arising from political correctness. Fuck maybe shit has gotten that bad since the time I took off or somehow I missed it?

Shit's strange. Others posting now that it's not just colleges but workplaces and shit. Personally I'd wish it would extend a bit to some workplaces I'm at now since some of these old cacs in agriculture are talking about Orientals and shit causing growers problems. I hear that and it's like shit son, what year is it?

Suppose so, always figured it boils down to the vocal minority blasting their rhetoric out to anyone and everyone who will hear them. Not fond of the mentality that the internet's echo chamber is somehow a 1:1 mirror of everyday life. While it's done a fantastic service to furthering the plight of some minority groups who've historically been ignored by the larger part of society for years... at the same time it can still double as a fucking booth for any wacko to shout from.

I don't know what anyone is talking about in regards to anything anymore when it comes to who's listening and who's not. All I know is I see a hell of a lot of concern trolling about leftist politics when this country has veered to the right spectacularly, so I'm just side-eyeing the US pretty damn hard right now.

Foolish reactionaries trying to smite the impure, unaware that all they accomplish is to turn people away and taint their areas of concern. This time it's the young progressive's turn. Happens across the pond too.

I hope the universities respond by teaching open discourse and thought exchange, rather than bowing down at every turn.

Friends are telling me it had a major overhaul, when I played it there was some definitive dumbshit but I could see the potential in it.

Stay away from PVP though, it's always a travesty in MMO games.

Like 5 years ago there was a big controversy at my college because a mostly white frat held a Compton Cookout and they all dressed up as hood stereotypes, followed by a bunch of other incidents (noose in the library, Klan hood on a statue). There was definitely some outrage, but my impression was the majority of the students were pretty meh about the whole thing and thought of it all as a joke. It seems weird to me that there's been a sea change in attitudes.

GAFfers are actually alright there, it's just the article that is hilarious.
"Guys, ads are totally a way to stand up to the Man. Also you're killing Internets and freedom."
Maybe your economic model is bogus if it can only survive thanks to an obnoxious number of invasive ads. While you're lecturing us on media history, maybe take a page from how actual newspapers existed back in the day.

Ad blocking will lead to the Degawkerification of the internet, which can only be a good thing.
