Misinforming adverts
I bet you've seen this once or twice, isn't it extremely annoying. I mean, for one thing, since when did you need expert knowledge to find and fit new ram? Getting a new processor can cost from just $30 up to the hundreds, but it's far from "very costly" I'm not sure these adverts should be advertising, as not only are they misleading, they also download software, which often comes with spyware, which sometimes SLOWS down your pc. So the best thing to do is to ignore these. |

 This indicates that slow performance is remedied by a "tune-up" Not true, if anything slow performance is caused by the hard-drive, simply defragging, or deleting those 1gb movies you like to keep will speed things up. |

I hate all adverts, but nothing is free, including sapce on the net, so you got to give in to advertising, unless you have some source of income that is never ending, and in abundance.
Its just like in a magazine, a newspaper, tv, they are just there to get in your head, but on the net they just have a sneakier way of doing it, like the "click here: You have an urgent email" and newbs fall for it. |

It's sad that advertisers have to fool gullible people into buying their products when they could spend the time making products worth buying.

Nothing has been as bad as church though. You ever seen those little card, that look JUST like folded up 20's? They just throw them on the ground, and people think they done got lucky and found a 20, and its just some card that says
"Dissapointed? Well you wont be if you give your heart to God" At first it just seemed like a pretty funny joke, but when you think about it..Its just wrong... |
