It's the beginning of the end. Google just turned obnoxious advertising up two notches.
Essentially they've become the new more evil comcast. It's nothing we didn't expect to happen though. One step forward, two back. Well you can be assured that P2P networks won't be going away anytime soon with this sort of obnoxious shite. Personally I like to just hit people I'm talking to over the head with a cane every once and a while. There IS a new balanace being struck between users/viers.... and producers.. and this isn't it. Furthermore... in google's own locked in little world there's nothing to stop them from getting even MORE obnoxious and I'm sure they will. What I love most is this is Charlie rose on PBS. Essentially we get to pay for it twice. -Mike On 1/6/07, Enric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In [email protected], "Jay dedman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > http://www.boingboing.net/2007/01/06/ads_quietly_introduc.html > > > > Not sure if these ads are available to the public yet. > > the example shown is an ad in a "Charlie Rose" episode..which is > > non-commercial on TV. > > > > jay > > > > -- > > Here I am.... > > http://jaydedman.com > > > > Charlie Rose is "sponsored by" at the beginning.
