flash animation block and bundled software

I just had it today. Installed flash block, so my pc runs at regular cycles. Before that my ultra good dual duo cpu was running as fast as melassa during winter in alaska. If I do not watch their ads, I will not get free content. WHO CARES. I can buy the newspaper, and its gonna cost me cheaper than buying a mainframe to read the news cause with all the flash animations and scripts running in there, my cpu heats up, and the cooler runs at top speed and there is no peace or quiet reading the paper (tft/lcd/crt/whatever screen).

Same with that brand new asus laptop with a 20+ monitor. The prebundle software, is taking so much cpu and memory, that I need a second laptop to run my applications. You could remove them, but they are like the replacement of m$ apps, like the power management UI etc etc. So you dont want to remove them cause you can(?)t get the drivers... without them !!! The brand is on the system, with big font letters. Whats the reason branding the app s/w? besides making a lousy job. BTW toshibas are crowded too, but the apps are lighter. THATs MY OPINION, like it or NOT.
