  2. Sir Spam A Lot

    If I could strangle every single company that has spammed me with junk e-mail I would. But if you think about it from their perspective, all they are doing is there job. Buy a database, blast poor innocent college kids (and other target audiences) with your useless crap. Sound good, right?

    Of course.

    E-marketing finds itself into everything I do on my computer. From browsing the web and finding pop-up windows, or product/service advertisements it’s all there. Open up my e-mail program (Apple’s Mail.app no less) and there is a pile of junk mail already parsed through the trash filter.

    I could opt out. But I’m lazy. Unsubscribe to all those junk mail newsletters? No way!

    As for the web there is a small solution. Download Firefox and install Adblock. Thank you dear lord, at least one of my experiences cannot end in a headache.

    If only could now write a plug-in to kill spam as effectively as Adblock does to my web woes. I’ll keep on dreaming . . .
