    Things I Hate About the Internet

    1. the way a link that promises to be some kind of list, such as "Top 10 Pasta Recipes with Tomatoes", is really just the beginning of about 10 links you will have to click to see the whole list. I hate that. There should be a law that says a link to a list must provide the complete list within no more than 2 clicks of the original page promising the list.

    2. Pop Up Adds, but I've solved most of this annoyance with Add Block Plus.

    3. I hate having to constantly update Adobe, Flash, Java or whatever.

    4. I hate the way internet news sources exaggerate.

    5. Slow buffering

    6. Hotmail

    7. The way Yahoo, Google and youtube require you to use one password for them all, thus locking you out of previous accounts.

    Doesn't seem that bad, but more later, I'm sure.

    How do you feel about sites that auto play videos. Looking at you ESPN.

    Links that are in the "free" section of the paper and then tell me after I click that it counted as one of my five premium articles for the month.

    Yeah AJC, you suck.

    That is annoying. Thankfully the internet is moving away from Flash
