I saw banner of popularscreensavers.com on macnn.com and wanted to look, so I went there and have got a message: We're sorry - this feature is not compatible with Macs.
What the heck is this? I'm proud mac user, why I should see this crap? Get the hell this banner out from your web site, or join PC community and change your name to pcnn.com

Have looked at any news sites lately? You have? And you still gripe about this trivial bullcrap?

Maybe you would prefer to pay $10.00 a year to read the forums. They have to make money, let them make money and stop bitching about a banner.

Jeff ******* says (9:19 AM): Eww, Ottawa is gross. It's infested with politicians, and presently, 1 Harper as well.

That's your biggest gripe on the morning of the first day of the new year?

This thread is now about your biggest gripe of the New Year.

My gripe is about those stupid 2005 glasses that people wear to celebrate. Those companies don't know it yet, but they'll be out of business in 2011 because it'll be damn hard to make glasses with only 1 zero. Idiots. Make sure you sell your stock in those companies by 2010.

Have you looked on any news sites lately? You have? And you still are wasting your time posting about a person posting about something that bothers them?

I will respect the loss of human life, but I will continue to enjoy my New Year with a smile on my face. I'll thank God that for today I am alive, and hopefully I'll be alive for a while. Relax and enjoy life, I'll savor it even more knowing that at any time we could all be gone.

If you find an annoying or stupid banner, post the URL of it (so we can see the same one) in the Feedback forum and the ad admin will remove it from circulation. (We can remove ads from circulation once it's shown up, but we are not given a chance to screen ads beforehand. It's stupid, but that's how the banner companies work.)

My biggest gripe about 2005 is having to think about counting backwards in Japanese.
