[Ipg-smz] ZDNet pages suck resources

[Tom Henderson]

The solution is far more simple. Turn off your speakers when surfing the 
net. And just close the damn open tabs and windows.

And should thy site smote thee, don't surf there. Lotsa great content 
out there, and a scoop is good for ten minutes, tops. Don't be a phish 
and take the clickbait.
