Especially when you're going to porn sites at work and forget your volume is on.
That is a really specific description.
80 percent chance this actually happened to you.
No, that's just the only scenario I could think of that would warrant using the f bomb to describe them.
I did the same damn thing.
What's worse yet is reading headlines and thinking "Oh, that sounds interesting, I'll read that." then it be a video. UGH.
Yep - flash essentially doesn't work on Ubuntu linux. I had to manually override each vid, and only then sometimes would it work. You also need to update your flash client if you haven't already, as there was a day zero flash exploit two days ago that allows for nasty remote execution. I've been 'victimized' in remote execution attack, and it's not a fun feeling to see somebody else driving your keyboard.

Update your client ASAP.
Update your client ASAP.
ESPN and NBCnews.com ( through a browser, the Win8 apps don't do this ) are the worst offenders.

Using reading mode on a browser is another way around this, but I forget about that feature a lot.
I hate the autoplay videos. I am at work or on a conference call pretending to pay attention. I don't want people knowing that I am on ESPN reading sports updates.
