Waiting for apex.com.com...

Mar 15, 2012 7:30AM PDT

I'm getting this all the time at the moment for all CNET forum pages;

"Waiting for apex.com.com..."

Did they go down or something? It doesn't seem to affect the pages though.

Same Bull **** tracking or script or some other crap CNet has allowed to infiltrate the forums.

It just seems that almost every day something is trying to track or spy or whatever when we go to any web site. It would be nice if CNet led the charge and didn't accept advertising with tracking, or any invasiveness. CNet should be the leader in safe sites, leading the "Internet" in zero cookies or tracking sites.

On another note, I have installed Do Not Track+. As I type, in the top right corner of my browser page (FF-10), I have the indicator that 13 sites are tracking me, and DNT+ is blocking them. That's actually less than the CNet home page which has shown 17 trackers at times.

Sad that CNet is allowing this. But I guess it pays the bills. And please bear with me, I'm getting old and grouchy. You'll be there someday!! LOL Had too much to do around the house today so I couldn't ride my Goldwing.
