On the when I go to read a artical on front page news some of the words highlight orange, and if I click on the word it takes me to something completly diffrent. example:

https://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=14041&category=main

"For the first time in several years, Apple looks poised to refresh its famous logo." the word apple is highlighted and if I click it It takes me here: http://www.tonerrefillkits.com/apple.htm?s...erture&kw=apple

Is this neowin or some software on my side. I have the google tool bar but have never noticed this untill today, is it google or neowin?

All it means is the site gets some orange links and more money. I'd say that's pretty unintrusive advertising :)

Well at first I thought it was google and was ****ed cuz I didn't want to see it at every web site I go to. But its all good if its Neowin, and I am more likely to click one of those then a banner ad.

Just don't put it in the forums.

I'm opposed to in-text advertising. It seams sort of shifty / dishonest to me (much more than banenrs do). Of course this is a private website/forum and I fully accept that I have the choice to either "put up or leave". For now it doesn't work in kHTML based browsers so I'm not personally bothered.

Would neowin ever consider a subscription system - allowing subscribers access to a site without advertising? It seams to be working fairly well for ARS and Slashdot.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
