De la pub ? Où ça ?

Nous, les geeks, nous bloquons les pubs et nous n'y pensons plus. Le choc est d'autant plus grand quand nous devons utiliser l'ordinateur de quelqu'un d'autre. « Mais comment faites-vous pour supporter une telle agression ? » avons-nous envie de...

Adblocking Does Not Constitute Copyright Infringement, Court Rules
