slow news day?
It must be a slow news day for Jeremy Kirk and InfoWorld to be publishing this kind of he said, she said tabloid news.
It's just a kook with a blog and a weak argument. He's already had his 15 minutes and it's long past time to move on. C'mon, InfoWorld, you're better than this.
reactions, thoughts, comments, etc.
Adblock Plus is only in the firing line because it's the best tool for the job and because it's convenient. The campaign against it and against Firefox is totally self-defeating, so I'm surprised that the press are even paying it lip-service. A slow news day indeed.

The quotes from Wladimir Palant at the end of the article are great.

well asa it was on slashdot the other day.. i think that started this...
however i found it amusing that they either dont realizee or dont know bout all the otheer borwser addons for several browsers who do the same. And that they dont know bout hostfile tricks. and about a bunch of software that ll do that on a system networking basis for you (hey even Kaspersky IS has such a feature...)

The funny thing about this article ... when you go to Jack Lewis' site in IE, the Google Ads have ads about hmmmm ... Firefox. I guess he can get paid to promote Firefox, just not let Firefox users read his dribble.

Kind of funny is that he apparently doesn't understand that he doesn't get paid for people looking at his Google ads. People actually have to click on those ads so, according to his logic, if you don't click his ads, you're stealing from him.

Out of all the nonsense on that guy’s site, I particularly like how he links to http://www.firefoxmyths.com/ which clearly states
and yet he consistently manages to spell it like that.
