Adware by Elmo, Timoteus [Paperback] $78.07 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Adware, or advertisingsupported software, is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements to a computer. These advertisements can be in the form of a popup. The object of the Adware is to generate revenue for its author. Adware, by itself, is harmless; however, some adware may come with integrated spyware such as keyloggers and other privacyinvasive software. Advertising functions are integrated into or bundled with the software, which is often designed to note what Internet sites the user visits and to present advertising pertinent to the types of goods or services featured there. Adware is usually seen by the developer as a way to recover development costs, and in some cases it may allow the software to be provided to the user free of charge or at a reduced price. The income derived from presenting advertisements to the user may allow or motivate the developer to continue to develop, maintain and upgrade the software product. Conversely, the advertisements may be seen by the user as interruptions or annoyances, or as distractions from the task at hand.

Flags $26.78 Flags was the only volume of poetry published by the Russian emigr poet Boris Poplavsky (19031935) during his own lifetime. A significant Surrealist volume, it is one of the lost creations of a man who has been called the greatest of the Russian emigr poets. Now recovered by Russian literary experts and reedited for a new public, Poplavsky is gaining the readership that eluded him in his lifetime. Unusually, this book presents the complete contents of the original volume (Paris, 1933), rather than presenting a Selected or some other overview, and thus opens a window onto a fascinating and unfairly neglected figure. Author: Poplavsky, Boris/ Cooke, Belinda/ McKane, Richard Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 124 Publication Date: 2009/11/15 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.29 inches |
