I got an iPad air for xmas
 
And when I'm on other sites like DU it suddenly cuts me off whatever I'm reading and opens up the ******* App Store to force me to look at some stupid ad. If the govt. wants people to live with this sort of intrusive bullshit and tolerate limits on the functionality of an iPad because it's recent,I think it's time to get a class action lawsuit goin or toss all the air out.

I guess it's a basic human right.

What says the arbiter of basic human rights?

Sounds like skinner sold out to the advertisers.  Only the worst of sites automatically pop up the ad-store.

Absolutely.
You're getting good at this.
I am getting there late to the show.
For Big Dog to operate in my stead (in my absence) is a basic human right !

I'm glad you clarified. I've used this laptop since 2010, and a Nook tablet and a Galaxy Tab (both use versions of Android) and have never seen anything like what she described. I was almost wondering if it was some sort of security hole in iOS, but Mrs. SVPete and one of my daughters have iPads, and they've never complained of anything similar.

There are a couple of conservative news/commentary sites - PJMedia and Breitbart - whose ads do obnoxious stuff, but, again, not anything like what she described. I guess going to "right" websites isn't going to the right websites.

That assumes she is describing her "issue" accurately.

I'm thinking the subway cat has man hands and is clumsy.  S/H/It probably accidentally swipes open the app store while trying to navigate the touch screen.

Touch screens, even those that are 10.1" are not friendly to those with large hands. BTDTGTTS, several drawersful.

I have seen this happen too where I am checking out some links in twitter and one of them opens up the App Store. Usually Jerry Doyle's Epic Times.

At least one other Caver thinks UGP "procured" the tablet with a 5 finger discount.

Make that two, 'for X-mas', as the subway cat herself said. After all, who likes her well enough to give her a gift anyway?

3. I am having trouble with the site too.
 




Not browser hijacking per say, since I have javascript turned off, but with pages not loading. I think this site gets a lot of attacks from disgruntled hackers who are political operatives.

The jig is up. :naughty:

She got lucky. It fell off the back of a truck.

I'm with you there. Heck, I just got a smart phone....and it's my son's old one. His dad bought him a new iPhone, so I got his Android.
