You know what's even worse than the missing incompatible content on the iPad? The endless number of web sites asking you to download their dedicated apps every time you visit the sites.

Most of those apps suck, and even if they don't, I don't want a bazillion new apps cluttering up the iPad just to read an article or surf a forum thread or whatever. Unfortunately, those install-the-app nag screens make surfing to your websites annoying. It's almost as bad as big obnoxious Flash ads.

So, just stop it already.

I'm trying to find a way to completely disable game center. I'm not signed in and don't ever want to use it. I've disabled all alerts and game center keeps on asking me to login with each new game I play. I have press OK twice on each game before using it. Highly annoying.

I've been to some sites on my computer and they ask me to download their app on the App Store. I don't even have an iOS device!

But the advertisers do. And they pay the bills.

I hate these nags too. Buzz off already!
