   On the free games on an iPad the ads last for minutes.   
   I suppose that's what the writers have to do to finance their apps and   
   get them out there. So I doubt they'll stomach any ad-blocker that   
   removes them for long; or, at least, their powerful and competent   
   patrons won't.
