In response to iPhone Aps

I don't think it is wrong that companies are putting advertisements on everything.  They are trying to do anything possible to make extra money, and if bothering their customers enough with ads in freeware makes them purchase the pay version of the same software, then they still made their money.  I feel that you cant do anything on the internet without getting ads pushed in your face.  Now every time I watch a video or click anywhere it seems like a banner is flashing or I get to watch a 30 second video for something I have no interest in.  Certain ads, like Orbitz gum, have the reverse effect on me.  I hate seeing their ads all the time so much that I would never buy their gum.
Is advertisement getting to be an overload?

The Cost of Convenience

I find it very funny how many convenience stores advertise 99 cent drinks and other procucts that are very cheap to get you in the stores.  Then when you get inside, a 2 liter bottle of soda is cheaper than a 20 oz bottle and any other product costs twice as much as it would in a normal store.  Any product like little debbie snacks that have the price printed on the packaging sell at that price, but many things are just outrageous.  I always though most of these stores made their money selling gas, but it seems like they are making a profit inside the store also.

Is it worth it to just run into a quick store and pay the extra money?
