Why does advertising always work but promised functionality not ???
Why is it that advertising always works but what it was designed for just does not ??? Examples: - my cell phone GPS now shows tiny ads on the GPS info screen - not that I would ever look into that app if the device works, but now it does not ... and instead of showing satellites and coordinates it shows ads for some supermarkets ...
- European TV stations now offer to watch episodes you missed later on the internet ... I wouldn't mind getting the same ads as if watching the show when it's aired, but instead it only shows the ads upfront and then fails ... and it does that consistently across browsers and OS ...

Hi,
Same as the browser technology, that takes the information off one web site and it shows up in mini icons in just about every page after that. Ex: I check Basso Profundo at Musicians Friends, and then it shows up with the same item in many web pages after that ... and not for one day ... it goes on for weeks, and in some cases, never leaves.
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

It seems something happened and now it is fashionable to lie or at least bait n' switch. Apathy has run amok so there is little or no outrage today.

Can't say ... but the browser still has the adverts for Musicians Friend, Amazon and several other spots (all the same?) for that same Basso Profundo that I don't think I can buy anyway! (let's see if that helps!)

Scientists have created a cure for apathy, but most of the people didn't care.

TV companies that offer streaming with ads will ALWAYS prioritize the ads when rationing out the bandwidth. I remember that from watching stuff on Hulu years ago - the ads would always be crystal clear HD quality without a single glitch, then the show would be a lo-res mess that buffered every 5 seconds.
