lol.

I followed that link and got... a popup ad.  Very very few popups make it through my filter, so they did some research in order to make that ad popup.  Oh the irony. ;)

I use firefox w/ no filters and didn't get anything.  are u still using IE.


The main part of the article I wanted to point out was this-

"OK, let's be honest. You didn't really read the EULA. How do I know? Because hardly anyone does. To prove that point, PC Pitstop included a clause in one of its own EULAs that promised anyone who read it, a "consideration" including money if they sent a note to an email address listed in the EULA. After four months and more than 3,000 downloads, one person finally wrote in. That person, by the way, got a check for $1,000 proving, at least for one person, that it really does pay to read EULAs."
