1 mindblowing fact google doesn't want you to know about before you get ios9

I was wondering what Apple was going to do to combat the threat of web apps eroding their business model. Here's their solution! Cut off the revenue stream to web platforms.
 
why doesnt google want us to know and where is the proof of this conspiracy ? are they refusing to cache every page that mentions it with their web searching bots?

I was thinking the other day how weird it is that desktops moved away from apps with html5/java/flash, but mobile devices moved towards apps. On mobile you need a weather/facebook/email/etc apps, but on desktops you can get by with basically nothing installed now. Even to use a calculator you can just type it in to google for an answer.

I wonder if desktops will move back to apps, or mobile will move to websites. You're saying the latter is true?

Personally I don't like messing about with apps I just use a website, I don't even like mobile versions I use the desktop versions on my phone.

How much does this platform cost to run? vbulletin license plus £10 a month hosting? It's an extension of a shop, the online equivalent of having some couches and a coffee machine for customers in a shop. Pretty sure the mods dont get paid. The posters don't get paid. If you weren't posting here you'd be posting on another forum.
 
More of the everything for nothing brigade. Apple will monetise this just like Adblock do.

I get the hatred for popups/unders, video, audio and scam ads but I don't understand the need to block the basic banner ads that aren't intrusive and do provide money for the people running a site to offset costs.

This forum wouldn't exist if it weren't for the generosity of OCUK. I suspect it's a fair amount more than £10 a month with the activity this generates. Also afaik vbulletin is a one of cost for older versions like this. Obviously it generates revenue for OCUK or it wouldn't exist.

They don't run this forum to be generous, they do it because it's an easy and direct way to interface with their customers and advertise things to them, as well as collection of marketing data.

When I read the title of this thread my immediate thoughts were of those advertised articles that are like "One secret for white teeth the dentists don't want you to know!". Paradoxically, the thread was about the end of such adverts.

Just sayin'

Hmm. Funny how it's just Safari and not the iOS eco-system. But then they wouldn't want to block the ads they feed you via their own ad system. . . . . . .
