Come on Adi. You wish you could do the same.

Put that aside. In the tech world, I find what google did ingenious.
Everyone can make their own judgments on the matter.

Today is my first time hearing this can be done. It amazes me how technology progresses.

It sounds like we don't know each other that well Potto.

You can't stop technology. It's silly to resist it, makes lives easier.

If you'd rather have a free PhpBoard software to hang out there with spammers and all, let me know I can quickly build you an unpatched one.

I wish I could go fishing tomorrow - now THAT IS on my mind.

So.......

And you point is?

Or are you saying it must come from a left wing website to be considered news worthy?

The website said

Google, through its new toolbar, is hijacking the websites visited by its users and replacing their ads with Google ads.

I just find that brilliant!

My point is that one should be suspicious of the source. That particular website hardly qualifies as "news" by any objective measure and frequently crosses into what might be considered a racist hate site (a recent poll of their readership showed that more than 80% favored a nuclear attack on Mecca). There's no need to link to that on a FISHING website.

Thanks for the warning Fro. See you in Ramallah.
