It’s remarkable how similar all of the cars look now. If you didn’t hear the engine, or didn’t know what you were looking for, even the new Lamborghini mini SUV looks the same as everything else on the road.

I would also add, breaking the display advertising marketplace would be extremely problematic for third party publishers, and likely guarantee the lock in to Google News, Facebook News, and Apple News for all news sites. Dumping Adsense is

The advertiser base for Adsense is people buying search Ads. Some percentage of the advertisers just left defaults on and don’t know they are buying Adsense Ads (now conveniently called Google Ads.) I could see how this idea would come from

You should send this to the Vice authors. I emailed some journalists about Jumpshot a few years back. It’s good that everyone now understands what is going on.

The URL seems way more important to me than the favicon / ad issue. Its an issue, but the users who can't see the difference didn't know they've been clicking on ads for the past 10 years. #1 What does Google want the we

I searched the comments for FTC and yours was the only that popped up. For the record, I don’t think this is FTC compliant. It also reeks of the kind of this that regulators would adjust their laws for. Google is playing with a situation wh

Bing and Yandex are worth trying too. I just had a total failure from a Google search yesterday, where the official site for a piece of software wasn’t on the first 3 pages. I went over to bing and it was #1. I’m getting to the point where
