Even with an Intel i5 processor news pages are
increasingly a pain to use. There are so many ads and pop up, unwanted videos
running as tag-alongs and so forth that it is actually difficult to read many
news pages.
Click on a
page and it moves up and down like the saccadic eye movements of a drunk lying
in the gutter as content continues to be layered on it. Apparently the more ad
content there is on each page the greater the revenue is through advertiser
sales. It makes it challenging to read in some cases.
Then of
course there are the interesting lead stories that have 15 items such as the
top fifteen states in supporting foreign government and illegal immigrants that
you can only view one item at a time on 15 different pages because they sell
more ads that way. Instead of waiting for the page to load and scroll to the
bottom on a page that is difficult to scroll because it is a moving target to
get to the next page arrow with new junk appearing and the screen display
automatically readjusting, I just wipe the page out and never get to page 2.
It becomes
even sillier when trying to load certain sports news pages on a somewhat smart
phone that would probably require a supercomputer with thousands of cores in
gpu and cpu to run because of all of the ads and videos one must endure to find
the answer to a simple inquiry such as when the next candidate's tournament in
chess will be, exactly. Actually Yahoo sports is the most clean and easy to
load of the pages that are the first option.
