Asus Android Smartphones Users will not be able to Read Forbes - http://clapway.com/2015/12/28/asus-android-smartphones-users-will-not-be-able-to-read-forbes/

Asus Android smartphones user’s are either going to be happy or upset with this one. All Asus smartphones are going to have an ad-blocker pre-installed. This is not the part that users will be upset over, though. Forbes is now the latest company to prevent users from viewing their page with an ad-blocker enabled. So, if you connect the dots, Forbes will not be able to be viewed on the Asus smartphone. Depending on how much you read Forbes, will factor in if you are a little upset by this.

ASUS ANDROID SMARTPHONES WILL HAVE PRE-INSTALLED AD BLOCKER

The company Asus actually teamed up with Eyeo GMBH to be able to provide all of their phones with Adblock Plus installed. The CRO of Eyeo GMBH stated how excited the company was to join forces with Asus to do this. Adblock Plus is a very convenient extension because it prevents users from being overloaded with never ending ads. Now, it will still let legitimate advertisements through, but it stops the mind-numbing ads.

FORBES IS DISABLING ALL AD-BLOCKERS

Forbes is an online publishing company, and now they will not allow ad-blockers to be enabled. However, they do promise that there will not be an outrageous amount of ads. Forbes is not the first company to do so. Many companies in the past have decided to prevent users from using ad-blockers. Now, it is extremely easy to disable Adblock Plus on a single website. However, that is when the user installs it.

BECAUSE OF THIS, FORBES CAN NOT BE VIEWED ON THE ASUS

Once you combine these two stories together, you realize that Forbes is not going to be able to be viewed on the Asus smartphone. This is really not a big deal unless you are a frequent reader on Forbes. If this is the case, then this news might really upset you.

THIS IS STILL GOOD FOR ASUS ANDROID SMARTPHONES USER’S

Companies make a lot of their money due to advertisements. Ads are great for companies, but they are a hassle for people. So, this is a good news for all of the Asus Android smartphone users. It should also be noted that Adblock Plus is an excellent ad-blocking software. I have been using it for around one year now and it has been fantastic.

#Wikipedia wants to the #savetheworld with this #information conglomerate. - http://clapway.com/2015/07/21/wikipedia-founder-gives-back-with-the-peoples-operator-111/

Wikipedia is an incredibly popular tool that several people use regularly to find out information. For a while, it had the less than stellar reputation of not being completely accurate, however, one can now pretty easily differentiate the legitimate information from the fabrications. Especially since there are clear areas where sources have been cited.

The Art of Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a free information site that works off of donations. Occasionally, you will see a yellow notification bar at the top of page reminding visitors to the site that the only way they stay free for everyone is by receiving said donations. You can find all kinds of information on the site, from dates and times of events to the secret lifestyles of certain historical figures. Wikipedia can really be a great tool when researching certain information.

Giving Back

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales announced the United States launch of a new mobile network, The People’s Operator. According to Forbes, this network will donate 20 percent of its profits, and 10 percent of customer’s monthly bills, to a number of charities at no extra cost to customers.

In 2012, Wales launched this same network in the United Kingdom and has donated to hundreds of charities there, including The Trussell Trust, Emerge Poverty Free and the British Heart Foundation. He also announced a few partnerships with several causes that the U.S. TPO will be donating to, including Save the Children, the Wounded Warrior Project and the World Wildlife Foundation, to name a few. These aren’t the only charities available for customers do donate to, however, they will have the option of donating to any certified charity they see fit.

The People’s Operator

In an open letter to customers on The People’s Operator official website, Wales explains the concept as one where the company spends your money on things you care about, rather than on advertising. They expect the news of this new mobile network to be spread via word of mouth, like most things are these days, and have even created their own social networking platform to accompany the mobile network. Wales is hoping that this new network and all it’s moving parts will become a massive competitor in the mobile industry.
