What I think about Windows Phone 7.8
It has been announced that current Windows Phone devices won't get Windows Phone 8. Instead they get version 7.8. I think it's a stupid move. The problem is that some…
How and why I ditched Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a great tool to see what users do on your site and how they interact with it. It is free to use and is very extensive so why did I stop using it?
Problem with Google Analytics
The main reason I stopped using Analytics is because it places a cookie which cannot be stopped without showing me how the site is used.

Anti-adblock
On a site I recently saw a poll about adblock. It showed that 90% of the users there actually used adblock. I know that it is a group of powerusers but I think that is disturbing and I will try to explain why.
The main reason why I’m not using adblock is because it means that the sites I use don’t get ad revenue. A lot of people don’t seem to realize that sites can remain free through the ad revenue.
