Raise your hand if you don’t have some type of pop up blocker running on your machine. Right. So, given that virtually nobody is seeing pop ups, it is mildly amusing that cnn.com still uses them. I use the Google toolbar so I see the little indicator when I hit the site. You’d think they’d give up or do something different.
It’s what happens when you are sitting on the plane, waiting, and you got a Verizon data card in your laptop. You notice these things. Weird. Okay, yeah, I’ll shut it down.
See you back at the ranch.
CNN uses popups for their video feeds, so people that watch CNN videos have to allow popups from CNN. Then CNN launches the annoying popup ads on your no longer protected computer.
