No, just trying to get a few people off the hook for these annoying commercials. On your TIVO you can record the show, skip over the commercials but we don't seem to have that option on internet news.
a cheap price to pay to find out what's going on. You might even see something you want to buy.

Originally posted by HandyAndyHey, maybe you love commercials, I am not so enthusiastic. I will try every trick in the book to not be subject to commercial brainwashing. As far as the 30 seconds go, I just hit the scroll button and kill the audio and do something else for that time. I dislike brainwashing in all its ugly ways.

Originally posted by HandyAndySo? Even if a hack was made to kill those 30 second jobs, it would still be a minority of people who used it. I feel no compunction against doing just that. I don't whine about commercials because I think they are just annoyances, I whine about them because they work, they program us to buy, buy, buy. Don't like it and never will.
