Google to Distribute Image Ads, Plans Email List Service

comforteagle writes "For the next shot in the search engine advertising war Google has launched image ads in addition to their popular text AdSense program. From Google's explanation page: 'Image ads will show in rotation with text ads. On a page by page basis, Google's technology determines whether text ads or image ads are likely to make you more money, and serves the best ads to your page.'" Another reader writes: "eWEEK.com is reporting that Google has begun testing a new mailing list service, Google Groups 2, sure to go head-to-head with Yahoo Groups. It eventually will replace what is today only a Usenet archive. Users of the new beta can start their own mailing lists (public or private) and in typical Google fashion, it is promising to put search front and center (even hinting at postings being included in Web search one day)."

where nobody RTFA, or the information is just plain wrong, like the "Apple raises itunes prices" article?

This seems like a good place to plug my question

OK, so I have Firefox and I block all the images that annoy me. Now my problem is that sometimes I middle-click in the page to bring the "universal scroll" thingy and turns out the blank space used to have an ad (and I open the link in a new tab).

Now, my question is, is it possible to also disable the linking of blocked images? That is, if I blicked an image, I want to block the it was nested in.

Goddamnit is not a word. Argh is not a word. What are you bitching about? There is also no reason to capitalize all letters in "lose." Get a life.
