Can we please change the headline to something a bit less invalid and full of sensationalism? This is a perfect example of distorting statistics to serve ones purpose.
* Author has a small screen.
* Author compares results space vs everything else, and then calls it "ads"
On my 1920x1200 screen, overall ad space and results space actually take up the same amount of space. There's a ton of UI and white-space though. While Google could arguably make better use of their empty space, suggesting the remainder is entirely ads is absurd.

- Wilya 14y ago> * Author has a small screen. Author has a big screen. His screenshot shows five results above the fold. I can barely see two on my 1280x800. The argument works both ways.
- meritt 14y ago1280x960 is not a "big screen" by any modern definition.

- Dylan16807 14y agoThe CRT I threw out years ago was 1280x1024. It wasn't big then, and a smaller screen isn't big now. Even if you're on something like an iPad you still have 1024 vertical and end up with plenty of content. Only netbooks and/or low-quality screens have this issue.
