Firefox New York Times Ad, Soon
An anonymous reader submits "CNet has an update on the status of the New York Times Firefox ad. According to the article, the delays are largely because of the decision to go with 10,000 names rather than the original 2500. The amount of content means each change to the ad requires 15 minutes of rendering. They also must be careful in crafting the ad, so that stay on the advocacy side of things. As a non-profit, they can still qualify for the under $50,000 rate, but if the ad is too commercial, they would need to pay the $130,000+ business rate. They say they're close to finishing, and the ad should run by mid-December, or at the latest, by Christmas. Firefox is also close to 10,000,000 downloads in the first month of release."
10,000 flies can't be wrong -- eat shit.
That said, Firefox isn't shit, but the most reasonably standards compliant, light weight, cross platform web browser ever made. I wish them all the luck in the world, and sincerely hope they become the new standard to which -all- web developers adhere. I hope it means the end to any regard what so ever to that other worthless browser.
Do they really have to stick with Firefox? With a name like FireBush, I'm sure the NYT will give them the generous non-profit discount. It's even a biblical reference!!!
I wasn't able to see the ad in Firefox. Only with MSIE. Just another reason why MSIE is superior!
I can't wait to adblock this...
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
You know, I bet you're the first person to have thought of this! You're brilliant! I'm sure that in the 100+ year history of one of the finest newspapers in the world, that NOBODY has ever thought of this, and if they did, they'd easily be able to pull the wool over the eyes of the advertising department of one of the widest read newspapers in the world. Oh sure.
I don't respond to AC's.
