    Same question here. Never seen on my Apple devices over the last 17
    years. What is wrong?

    Android is quite different. Each app thinks it has the right to torture
    me with irrelevant ads. Every time is use it.

    Hi Chris,

    First off, I apologize for the broken-up URLs where I thought
    people would be intelligent enough to figure that's to foil lousy
    "badurl" nntp filters.

    But apparently the iKooks completely whoosh on all obvious facts
    and concentrate instead on what amounts to purposeful typos to fix
    bad url filters (I have no control over what the nntp server
    considers bad urls).

    Anyway, I clearly understand that you "said" you're not seeing
    _targeted_ ads, which, may or may not be true because you don't
    know how to tell.

    Nobody does.
    But let's assume you're right for the first time in your entire
    life, Chris (although I remember you claiming a PhD which you
    clearly lied about).

    Let's assume, Chris - that either you're too stupid to recognize a
    targeted ad, or, even that by pure luck, you haven't actually
    received targeted ads.

    Good for you.
    But that still doesn't change the main point one bit.

     *If you're seeing _any_ ads, then you're on iOS* (not Android).

    The reason has been supplied in the half dozen URLs that I
    previously provided where the ad blocking functionality of iOS is
    clearly crippled.

    It's hopeless man. Most all iphone users are dumbass children.
    Engineers and adults know to use only android. But they must still
    buy shitty toy iphones for their young ignorant children.

    When the children get older, you can buy them some books and an
    android telephone. They catch on pretty quick.

    he's not.

    he tried, but could not get sample code to build.

    that is a significant obstacle to developing actual apps.

    That's an actual lie. I and several others have shown you to be wrong about many things.

    You've also chickened out of proving all your "college degrees". All you

    Yep, and when confronted, he turns into a broken record, spamming the

    anything at all to dispute challenges to his lies. It's pathetic every

    He hasn't proved any of his claims through the years. He frequently
    confuses opinion for fact. And anyone who questions his claims is
    automatically accused of trolling and insulted. He's a huge man-child.

    Chris,
    I feel sorry for you that people called you stupid your whole life.
    *One of the reasons you're stupid, Chris - is you have no memory.*

    Your memory is atrocious since we have entire threads on this topic, where
    I long ago emailed Steve my college degree information where he was told to
    not publish my name but he was welcome to publish the rest of the stuff.

    You want that information - get it from Steve because you wouldn't
    believe it if it came from me anyway - so that's why I sent it to Steve.

    You're stupid Chris, because you don't even remember we did all this.

    If you could, you would; yet you don't - because you can't.

    What usually happens is you don't acknowledge it and then disappear for a
    bit hoping that no-one will notice.

    Everything you say is _why_ people called you stupid your whole life.

    The fact remains if you could find a single case of me stating an incorrect fact (which wasn't just a thinko or one that I didnt' immediately
    acknowledge, usually profusely as it could be by pure accident), you
    wouild.

    Just say what it is, Chris. Otherwise, you're lying (again), Chris.
    *You don't list any wrong facts. Because you can't.*

    My credibility is stellar, Chris.
    Not because I'm smarter than all of you combined.

    But because I don't say a fact if it's not well known already.

    Stupid people like you, Chris, say all sorts of things you don't
    understand. You're extremely confident in your stupidity, Chris.

    It's why people your whole life have been calling you stupid, Chris.
    Not just me.

    With that, I put you back on plonk as I thought you had matured.

    Spoken like the true child you are.

    You're the one who lied about having a PhD and then you ridiculed classic
    words used all the time in immunology, Chris - like a small child would.

    Remember, I have a steel trap of a memory, Chris.
    *Does "vehicle" ring a bell?*

    HINT: Your IQ is about 50, Chris, and partly due to your lies where
    you, like all iKooks, own no shame. No honor. No decency.

    It's why you've been told your whole life that you're stupid, Chris.
    You don't remember that we covered all this in depth already, Chris.

    Certainly true.

    But because I don't say a fact if it's not well known already.

    You confuse opinion with facts on a regular basis. Also extrapolation or inference are not facts either.
