Wind Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 When you sent this to me, didnt you say "I didnt read it" when i asked "Whats it about?" Link to comment
Kreutz Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 So, if I'm not to trust blogs or companies, why should I believe this random douche? Link to comment
Siendra Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Wow. There's almost as much bullshit and circle-fucked info there as there is on a single Myspace account. Go figure. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 MySpace loves HTTP cookies. The use of web cookies is very common; they are simply pieces of data that a website places on one's computer to store information about its user, for the purposes of tracking and recognizing one's visits to the site. However, the use of cookies can extend beyond this benign convience, such as advertising tracking, and it has raised privacy concerns. Advertisers' on MySpace use of cookies, ads, and other code are subject to their own privacy policies, not the MySpace privacy policy. This can lead to computer security issues for when people visit these 3rd party websites they can be subject to receiving adware and spyware. While it has yet to be documented anyone has ever received spyware or adware from the MySpace company itself, many 3rd parties take advantage of MySpace's popularity and awkward coding structure as a venue for distributing said software. That seems pretty scary to me. Link to comment

Wind Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Seems rather not all that bad either, especially since they make all the profit from all the obnoxious ads on the site. GPS is just looking for another reason to hate myspace. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 I know I hate myspace, however when I saw this on digg.com I thought it should be brought to the attention of those who tolerate that site enough to use it. Link to comment
Arcane Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I can't stand MySpace because it's simply coded horribly... and well, looks like crap. Plus I hate that 75% of it's users decide to be assholes and put music playing on their page. Link to comment
Battle_Pope Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'm more fed up with Facebook than I am with myspace. My sister's made me completely 100% sick of Facebook. Link to comment
darkon Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 This just in: The entire internet gives you cookies and spyware. Oh, and where did that guy get all that information from anyway? Some of it is credible, but there is some that just sounds like he's trying to make two ends meet. Link to comment
amy Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I don't really get why people don't want to be targeted by advertising, I'd rather see an ad for neopets merchandise than viagra Link to comment
Kreutz Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 That seems pretty scary to me. Get off the internet. Run for your life! Link to comment
Arcane Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 MySpace just crashed my browser.... they're out to get me!! But seriously, like I said, shitty code. Link to comment
David Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) I was going to read the article, but then I saw the pic on this Trent fellow. I don't think I should be taking advice from that. Edited January 6, 2006 by SvM_Zoicoll Link to comment

Ceraziefish Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 My shitty band has a myspace account, which I will never post here because I don't want to be told how shitty it is. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) har i have a myspace account jjust so people can see my beautifulness Why haven't I been informed? Edit: Bah, nothing new. >< edit 2: And I broke my own rule, well I'll have to destroy my shell of a Myspace account to prevent such a slip from happening again.

Hero Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I hate MySpace because it's owned by Newscorp and anyone affiliated with Newscorp in any way should feel dirty. Link to comment
Venom112 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 MySpace is just one of those things people ought to be ashamed to have. Venom: Have a MySpace do you? person: No, of course not! Venom: What is this!? *points out MySpace account* person: Alright, you got me, I gave in! *person is ridiculed mercilessly* I don't really get why people don't want to be targeted by advertising, I'd rather see an ad for neopets merchandise than viagra People have this silly notion about not wanting their various activities constantly under watch of others. I don't see why people wouldn't want to be under surveillance 24/7 and constantly barraged with material that supposedly suits the user based upon various corporations monitoring a person.

Galkar Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 My shitty band has a myspace account, which I will never post here because I don't want to be told how shitty it is. Are you really saying that you don't think AE would love the lyrical genius of the Colin Cashman Skool of Rhyming? Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 There is no lyrical genius. It just sucks. Don't tell anyone I said that, though. Link to comment
Galkar Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Have you no faith? That band will be a ticket to stardom for everyone involved! In 2 years, everyone will know of the wonder that is "Stairway to Admiral Ackbar"! Link to comment
