Ocuppy Flash

Thanks to Steve Jobs all the Flash nightmare is disappearing of Internet. But unfortunately there is already present, especially with these horribly noisy ads you get in some pages.

Fortunately Chrome has added an option to block Flash adds. This is buried in the configuration. Go to

Customize Google Chrome >Settings  > Content :

In the Plugins, change the radio button from Run automatically to Click to Play:

That's all. Now all these noisy ads are blocked automatically but if for some reason you want to activate (for example if you want to see a YouTube video) just click on it. Enjoy!

Here is a chart mapping about Apple R&D expenditures from 1995 to 2013:

And here is another chart about Apple expenditure as a % of net sales:

I don't know you but my first thought about the figures is:

• The R&D expenditure rocket following the return of Steve Jobs.
• The second chart  is more a reflection of Apple's astronomical revenue growth during that same time period.
