  1. /. ads better than the stories by KatTran · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I learned about this earlier this morning from the ad on the /. front page.

    Fire the editors and just have a page of techhie ads, we'll get more timely info!

  2. Story submitted just in time by bXTr · · Score: 0, Redundant

  3. Ad before stories? by Manwe's+Herald · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Is it just my imagination or I saw ads from Sun before this story was posted?

    If ads are ahead of news, the subscription is pointless.
