I'm trying to install adblocker software on my home computer running Win 7 with IE 11. I've tried Ad-Aware and a couple of others, and they're not showing up in IE. Is there a better adblocker plug-in I can try?
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Honestly, I'd move to another browser and then install an adblocker. IE is notorious for not playing well with that kind of stuff.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
An interesting note. Not sure if it's a fluke, accident, or what. But it seems when listening to Pandora on my FireTV, there are no commercials. I've been listening all day, and not a one. If I stream from the website on a computer, or from the iPad app, a fair amount of commercials. But none from the FireTV. Anyone else notice this? Not complaining. Just thought I'd share.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Adobe’s Digital Editions e-book and PDF reader is spying on you.
Adobe is gathering data on the ebooks that have been opened, which pages were read, and in what order. All of this data, including the title, publisher, and other metadata for the book is being sent to Adobe’s server in clear text.
Adobe isn’t just tracking what users are doing in DE4; this app was also scanning my computer, gathering the metadata from all of the ebooks sitting on my hard disk, and uploading that data to Adobe’s servers.

I'm not surprised they're tracking what pages get read/how fast etc, but scanning te other books on y computer? What??

My Tivo has died again. I'm trying the old "turn it off for a while and see if it gets better" trick, but just in case, I'm looking around for other DVR options. We still watch enough "live" TV (that I want to be able to timeshift, pause, rewind, skip ads, etc) that ditching the DVR altogether isn't really an option.
Has anyone used SimpleTV or Tablo? Honestly what I really want is the Roamio OTA but I don't want to pay the $15/month channel guide fee!
[eta, we are cord cutters, so a cable company DVR isn't an option either]

I quite liked Elgato/EyeTV. I have generally kept the TV Guide channel information service (I think you get a year free with the software?) but it's supposed to work without it.

Anybody working on a Wordpress site?
someone in my office decided we need a SECOND site in Wordpress (don't ask me why). I've been stuck with doing the updates. The information we received from the designer/vendor (who has given us erroneous instructions before) was that, after finalizing a page, hitting "update", you have to CREATE a backup and then RESTORE the backup. This is taking about 15 minutes for EVERY.SINGLE.PAGE. I'm going crazy ... it's not like I don't have other work to do.
Anybody have any suggestions as to how to make this piece of crap go faster?
