Ohhhh sheesh that's what it was.

I was listening to music on napster today and then suddently i started hearing the voices, then when i stopped the song the voices would continue for like 2 secs then stop. Then continue the song and the voices would start again.

I thought it was my AIW being stupid, but closing all IE windows fixed it.

Now i know where it was coming from :D

I've been hit with one on the front page. If your using Firefox just Adblock it.

That shows your ignorance - Neowin makes money from these ads, if you block them you're an ass. Nothing personal, just my opinion on blocking ads on that site :p

To stay on topic: I saw those ads - pretty annoyng....

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.

      256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
