Yes, please. A google search on "emacs turn off blinking cursor (without the quotes) gives around 10000 hits. That is 10 times more than a similar search with "blinking cursor" replaced by "fringe", but only a fifth than the search for "tool bar" or "menu bar". I personally have the fringe and menu bar, but have turned off blinking cursor and the tool bar.
