Anyone else notice...
... that imdb is now doing 5 second delay between the load of the advertising at the top of the page and the content you are there to see?
I was thinking it was my computer or connection, but it's been on multiple computers and for a few weeks that I've been noticing this new ad spin.

You don't suppose they consider their advertising more important than giving us free content, do you!?! God, those @$$HOLES!!!

I use Firefox and it lags a tad. Not really enough for me to notice though.

I use Firefox with the AdBlock extension. I think I told it to block any ads from starting up at the top of the page.

Dave, there's a name for this phenomenon: Capitalism. A.K.A., You don't get something for nothing. It's like when you're pimping your hos. You expect them to bring home money every night, right?

I never noticed because my computer is an old block of plastic and the ad itself doesn't load up before the rest of the contents display.
ain't life grant (I want a new computer)

Firefox with ad-block extenstions = priceless.

the ad block feature is good but it doesn't let some of my other programs come up. technology is a bitch.
