A huge empire, yes. But they are actually very beneficial to local communities, free trade, and even to competing local coffee shops.

Starbucks registering that is like a south-american restaurant tradmarking 'uno.' Can you imagine? No, but this is the kicker: it's actually <i>24</i> ounces. Isn't that stupid? grr. ‘Venti’ is not derived from the Italian word for ‘20,’ it is the Italian word for ‘20.’ Starbucks registering that is like a south-american restaurant tradmarking ‘uno.’ Can you imagine?

No, but this is the kicker: it’s actually 24 ounces. Isn’t that stupid? grr.

When you're on a page that takes forever to load due to lots of banner ads and such, just right click on the image and select "Block Images From This Server". Reload, and no ads. Just make sure the ads are on a different server/domain or every image on the site will be gone. Most banner ads are located on servers owned by the advertiser. Of course, site owners hate this because they're using the ads to make money. But has anyone ever made money on the internet?
