Government-backed study of online users

[NelsonN]

This poor sap should get a "PC for Dummies" book and soon. :1orglaugh

"One beleaguered home user in the government-backed study had more than 1,000 spyware programs running on his sluggish computer when researchers examined it."

hehe, I've had friends call me over to help with their computers who have had problems like that. You know a guy surfs a lot of porn at the wrong places when every time he opens a browser 15 new windows pop open. One of my pals had hundreds upon hundreds of spyware programs, he had no idea what was going on.

[blakkfrogg]

OK... It's time I admit the truth behind Spyware programs.....

They don't really install themselves. What REALLY happens is each time the tooth fairy, Santa, the Easter Bunny or any other holiday based (or straight up mythological) creature enters your home to deliver things they fire up your computer and upload spyware programs.

I mean seriously.... How else do you think they can afford to give all that shit away for free? Commissions, baby... Commissions.

Just another theory from the Blakk Frogg Foundation. Like it or leave it. Ya' heard?

[GunnCat]

Yah I had a friend of mine come over WITH his PC panicked that his wife would see the browser hijacks redirecting to porn :rotfl:
I think MS has a deal with A+ techs or something to keep them in business :)

Bloggers and journalists have been all over a Yankee Group study released Monday that predicts a $1 billion global market for mobile porn by 2008. (http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,65509,00.html?tw=wn_story_top5) :D

[blakkfrogg]

OK... Out of pure kindness to that Queen chick who posted that link I actually read the article. ;)

Upon completion of the assigned reading I had a question...

Is it discriminatory against those who favor obese nude people to force them to scroll sideways and vertically for each image on their portable device?

I know... I really do need to get a life. Either that or a hobby...

ok, now that i'm done lmao, I do actualy think that Frogg has posed a valid question that might actually be a good topic for discussion.

First of all, has anybody actually built anything for mobile porn? I'm curious if the html coding would be the same as what we would normally write? For example: <width=100%>

The phones that are on the market these days certainly have come a long way from what we had say a year ago...the capabilities, the graphics, absolutely everything....though the majority of webmasters may think that this "bandwagon" is one thats going to go by the wayside, I'm thinking that it's going to take off like you wouldn't believe.

Now before you go and dismiss what I just said, think about it.....I had somebody ask me "Who's gonna want to look at naked chix on their phone?" Well, how about that Corporate-Joe who just witnessed his buddy get fired for having porn on his workstation?

;) think about that one....

OMFG LMFAO!

well geeky goddess just what are the latest phones capable of?
broadband? yes
affordable broadband? I'm thinking not yet
increasing view sizes? yes
caching for buffering of video? i dunno
storage for downloads of videos? i dunno
and all at what price for the latest and greatest phonage?

i know of those who have persued this area with primarily pics
and I don't think it's ever done well or worth a shit for that matter
but
I could be mistaken. I do think streaming video may have "some"
potential as well as that other thing we discussed.
be a hella pain to format though don't ya think?

another excellent topic for discussion along with nightdrives ppc
thread.

oh and html is html. shitty html is shitty html.
width=100% is shitty html and you oughta know that :)

Well of course I know that (I did have a wonderful teacher afterall), but I'm sure you'll agree that it's pretty much standard in it's usage...just view source on some pages..

And being that cell phones tend to have different size screens depending on the manufacturer, I'm thinking that it will become the norm if/when building for WAP.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not real gung-ho on the thought of mobile porn. Its bad enough that people cant drive and talk at the same time (I'm definately one of those people), so the last thing we need is to be doing is giving motorists material to whack off to while commuting! :D

Webcam on mobile would be a sure fire winner, but pics and video haven't done well for me (although celeb pics, usually taken at a club with a camera phone and published the following day have a following).

Text chat is popular here in the UK, while some people are doing exceptionally well with text alerts for things like swingers parties and dogging (for the uninitiated, that's the quaint old English custom of having sex in a car park with an audience).

This could be a market that's worth putting some effort into on a little and often basis. One day, although probably not soon, it has to be big.

well, during those long ass commutes... when you're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, maybe jacking off to your cell phone porn might be the answer to kill time while you wait. perhaps a good tension release

:rolleyes: yanno, ya got a real good point there mistress pookie! And I think that anybody out there who has had the "privelage" of hitting rush hour in LA (anywhere remotely close to the 5/405/101 junction) - or hell, even seeing pix of it on t.v. - might just have to agree with the "tension release" theory.

But, what about the remaining 2 hours left in a day? LOL! I think they might have to actually create a lane just for jackin off - right next to the carpool lane :D

[Pookie]

But if the jackoff lane is next to the carpool lane, the carpoolers will inadvertantly slow down, rubber neck, and cause accidents

"Next.. on channel 7 News at 11, a monstrous car pile of 50 cars caused by a driver who caught a man pleasing himself in his car. Witnesses say the driver was distracted by the stream of white substance spewing out the window. Police made no comment on what exactly the substance could be. Tune in"
