Does anyone really click those ad banners? Why? Ad banners are the
antiquated fly paper of internet sites. I'm SOOOOO glad there are
Java killers you can use with Firefox today...

Does anyone really click those ad banners? The anwser to that is Yes, and
those are the people who 'pay' for sites like dpreview.

That does give the people (who do not click the banners) free acces to
organised information. So be glad of the people who click the banners, so
that you do not have to click the banners.

Offcourse you could shunt the sites which do have banners of other
advertisements. A website does cost money, there is no free ride here. The
business model does change from site to site, sometimes you have to become a
paying member to get acces to a site. But most of the more populair sites
get paid by the advertisements and the business generated by that. Sometimes
the money is put up by the members of a site, by voluntairs, or is raised in
another form, but by the time a site gets populair the money has to come
from somewhere. I do not like sites where you have to pay to get the
information, I do not like the advertisements, but do realise that those
advertisements pay for the site so that I can browse without paying for it.

Google took in $23 billion worth of ad revenue in 2009.

Why do you keep whining about everything?

I think it's a bit more than Pay-Per-Click now, and if you have a successful
site with a lot of viewers, then it's more about brand awareness and all
that stuff. Essentially, it's back to traditional advertising.

The Von Neuman architecture had no bearing on the creation of the
Internet. Besides he failed. I don't know of any MCU/ CPU companies that
are anything but capitalist.

The WWW is the one thing that has caused the commercialisation of the
Internet. In what way did Tim B Lee make it impossible for capitalists
to make money with HTTP?

My web creation program is certainly from a capitalist organisation.
Some of the web sites I made from it are defiantly capitalist.
