Strange but nice. Whenever I broswe Neowin the ads don't do anything to me. They just site there and do thier thing. They don't mess up the design nor change fonts.

Why don't you all try to use Firebird? Or maybe me computer is special? ;)

I have found several more:

1. That ad that says "shoot Agent Smith, win Enter the Matrix", it blinks about 10 times and seriously hurts my eyes (I can't find the location of the SWF since Neowin uses a script-based ad rotator)

2. The WeatherBug ad (it isn't particularly annoying but it points to a program that includes a spyware program called "MyWebSearch toolbar"), it's also a Flash ad

3. This is a real big offender: http://cserver.mii.instacontent.net/fastcl.../media29200.gif and http://media.fastclick.net/w/click.here?ci...d=11869&m=1&c=0

4. Another bad blinky one: http://cserver.mii.instacontent.net/fastcl.../media29127.gif and http://media.fastclick.net/w/click.here?ci...d=11869&m=1&c=0
