Things like intentionally stealing original content from bloggers and purporting it as his own discovery, without giving credit. A great example is how he stole content from a blog post I submitted about the discovery of [diggriver.com] taking it for his own discovery, having a top digger submit it as a dupe and trying to selfishly promote his stole blog post over the original. (The fact that he tried to dupe me doesn’t bother me personally…it’s that he intentionally stole content, purported as his own discovery without sourcing, then uses top digger to promote his content):
Original: [digg.com]
Stolen Dupe: [digg.com]

the original link blog has since been taken down…but if you follow the comments in both submissions it tells the tale pretty well. Michael Arrington will do anything to get ahead in the blogosphere, no matter how he has to do it. Even if it means using the most irresponsible, tool on digg to do it, as this is the worst digger I’ve seen on digg(to list all the reasons would require another rant in and of itself ).

btw…this workaround has gotten me to start viewing sites I refused to because of the snapshot feature. I love how such simple tips, can have really wide-reaching effects (opening me up to new sites and content).

Now if I could only do the same thing for those equally pesky advertisements that pop-up in the same fashion over specifically linked words.

It’s a useless tool, that has no practical purpose for implementation. Not only does it slow things down, it’s glitchy at times, and find myself wanting to close the pop-up previews, and having absolutely no way to do it, leaving me with no way to read content that it covers up.

TechCrunch uses it, and it’s the only site that I view on a rare occasion that does. (No, I don’t like the site, I only visit to see his idiotic takes on news stories. I hate the site and Michael Arrington with a fuming passion, as he’s the most irresponsible, egotistical, arrogant, ignorant blogger I’ve ever seen. He sources information poorly, takes information significantly out of context or spins it, he takes valid news stories from other bloggers, and promotes it as something he was the first to discover, and from what I can tell seems to be paying a digg to submit and promote his content.)

Thanks for this workaround btw!

BTW, not to be picky, but CCleaner has had the cookie save feature for a long time. It’s just been hiding under options.

Thanks for pointing that out As I mentioned.. I haven’t actually used CCleaner myself. I saw that in the comments of Lifehacker and thought it was a nice feature to have, and one that people might benefit from. Nice to know it’s always been there.
