I encountered yet another annoying ad type today. If Big Freaking Flash ads weren't enough, the New York times is now playing video with sound on their site. Check out this article at: http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/20/arts/20SOTH.html You start reading the article and suddenly a voice starts speaking, and a trailer for the movie Lord of the rings starts playing. Stop, damn it! I came to read the article, not watch a movie trailer. Regards, Madhu <<< * >>> Madhu Menon User Experience Consultant e-mail: webguru at vsnl.net Weblog: http://madman.weblogs.com
