i was checking my yahoo email account just now and i saw an advertisment for dashboard widgets, so i figured it was for Konfibulator since i remembered that yahoo bought it and was giving it away for free but then it ended up being an Apple ad. why would yahoo advertise for yahoo widgets when they just aquired konfibulator? i dunno, it just didnt make much since to me

I'm sure Apple is paying Yahoo for the advertisement.

Apple just pays Yahoo to advertise on their websites, I'm sure it's totally random as to what specific Yahoo site displays what ad.

Also keep in mind that most agencies use targeted ads. So, if they see you've been visiting a bunch of Apple-related web sites or have made Apple-related queries, you're much more likely to get an ad from the Apple bin.

Woh!!! They're so smart! Before long they'll have talking ads that follow your cursor around the screen with their devil eyes!!1!one!

Life is good for us interweb users. Life is very good...but it can only get better, soon Internet Explorer 7 will be out and re invent teh interweb!

I hope everyone start's coding in MS compliant code instead of standard's complaint code!

Pretty soon everything will look like Myspace!

I'm done now.

Come waste your time with me
