Anyone concerned with this has no business even opening a laptop, let alone typing www.google.com into it.

It's probably meaningless that ADblocker is so popular then? In fact so popular, Google disabled it on the playstore cuz they were afraid it would affect their ad revenue negatively. Same thing with recording TV, to skip those annoying commercials.

Fact is, people don't like ads. When you have no choise, you settle. But you don't go out and buy something that's gonna give you even more ads!

Then don't buy a tv,smartphone,radio,car,tablet,pc,video game, go to a movie, go shopping, go to a sports bar.  In every one of these cases, you are paying to get ads.

Shortsighted much? Don't take what i'm saying out of context.

Shortsighted?  You are the one saying that people don't want more ads.  People love them, but like to complain about them.  The kinect won't make more ads, it will make smarter ones.  If there was going to be an ad in the dashboard before, it will still be there now.  Maybe the ad will be more interesting or maybe not.  If I have to consume ads everywhere I go, I would rather have them have a meaning or purpose that fits my needs.
