    "The new ad technology, from Unicast, an advertising company based in New York, invisibly loads the commercial while unwitting users read a Web page, then displays the ad across the entire browser area when users click to a new page"
    What a shitty idea. This is exactly like an exit pop-up (you know, those ones that only show up when you try to x out a page). Worse than that, is that they DL in the background, which will choke 56k modems. "The resulting ad is identical to TV, whether the user has a high- or low-speed connection."

    Bullshit. I have yet to see a decent video that can be downloaded by a 56k modem in the time it takes to read a page and be played fullscreen. I picked up a freebie program back in my 56k days and i still use it. No-Flash lets you disable java, flash, pictures, animations, videos and so on. This little program made such a huge difference (especially by killing animations) in my browsing experience. At the bottom of their page, they admit the google toolbar does pretty much the same stuff. Hopefully that means it'll stop those videos from downloading, not just from playing.

  3. Cellvader by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Return of the Space Invaders

    This site has versions of Pacman and Space Invaders which run inside an Excel spreadsheet.

  4. ENGLISH verson link by Chris+Pimlott · · Score: 4, Informative · on Pacman for Excel 97 and 2000

    Considering more /.ers speak English than Japanese, the English version might be more useful.
