OT popup ads
martin griffith
up window appears
eg
http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/102/C7200/
the word "microphone" in the first line does it
I've got Adblock running, but it doesnt catch these.
Any idea what addon I need to kill these irritants, apart from using
IE.

Hi Rene, I've got that set as well, just damn annoying. I tried to
read the page source to find out what/ how they do it. Just got lost
Ah well, shit happens

If it's any constellation to you, you get the same thing in IE.

Yes..... it is green and gets two underlines which means the webpage has
some association with some other company that gives them a bit of money for
click throughs. The other company scans the page and gives 'useful'
information about words.
If you go to an appropriate bulletin board with a similar association that
deals with financial services and type in the right words then you can get
them all underlined with redirects to
SCUM SUCKING FUCKING WANKER CUNT BASTARDS.

Use the features of Firefox: Don't allow pop-ups, and install the
"NoScript" extension.
"NoScript" is configured by site... I only allow my banks and credit
card companies to run scripts.

Ta Muchly. Worked a treat

in IE it doesn't happen tho. Did you read operating time is 38min. and after
that the unit has to be discarded. It cannot be true?

A popup appears in IE. In Netscape, if you turn java scripting off,
this never happens. Scripting is necessary at times, but the
other 98% of the time is a pain. Firefox, you can do it also.
This is not a regular popup, as my Netscape popup blocker ignores
it.
I have been turning scripting off for years, until I got Netscape with popup blocker.
One can alos refrain from hovering cursor over specific words.

Yep, it was a April Fools joke by Lectrosonic that actually fooled a
lot of High Tech review site into giving it web space

While yes I saw it was an April Fools joke, since the battery is so
much larger than the mic, it makes more sense to use a watch battery or
equivalent...
"The unit's frequency response is at an impressive 5Hz to120kHz."
Isn't 120kHz a bit much, considering human hearing is only good to
about 20 kHz?

Perhaps the intended use is not to provide (eventual) input to a human ear.
I worked on sonar systems in the past that could analyze signals up to 100
kHz.

I was thinking it might be a "tool tip", but I don't get a popup on
Konqueror, and it would show up in the source in an image tag as
a 'title="whatever"' thing, but I don't see any of those either.
They might be doing something in the javascript, but that might
as well be APL to me. ;-)
Cheers!

The Mozilla Seamonkey suite has a native DOM Insector.
You mark some text, right-click, and select View Selection Source.
A window will be spawned
indexed such that the highlighted segment will be easily viewable
with the segment highlighted there as well.
A plug-in is available which will add this function to Firefox:

Seeing as you are using Firefox just go to
https://addons.mozilla.org/
and install the NOSCRIPT addon.
Gets rid of the javascript lovely - ad you have options to allow JS
when you want
