Advertising has no place in an operating system. Full stop.

    Advertising has no place period.

    One of the single greatest tragedies of modern life is that we accepted ads invading our personal and public spaces. Going outside for a walk and having to see a large outdoor, literally an advert on the sky, should be a crime against humanity.

    Hear, hear. If you occupy a public space, you have to behave in a manner that everyone can accept. I, for one, do not want to go to a beach to watch a sunset and have a boat with a cartoonishly large LCD display line up on the horizon flashing advertisements.
