Yahoo to put adverts in PDF files

From : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7118363.stm

Yahoo has reached a deal to start running advertisements in Adobe's
popular PDF document-reading format.
The service will allow publishers to make money by including adverts
linked to the content of a PDF document in a panel at the side of the
page.

It is Yahoo's latest way of expanding the places it can advertise
online following deals with the auction site Ebay and the cable TV
group Comcast.

The advertisements will not appear if the PDF document is printed.

It is the first time that Adobe has allowed dynamic adverts into its
PDF (Portable Document Format) files.

Dynamic adverts can be changed for particular audiences or rotated to
make sure that a particular user never sees the same advertisement
twice.

PDF files can be created by a range of software and can then be read
by people who have a PDF reader, such as Adobe's Reader.

The PDF format has proved popular with both companies and home users,
and has been used to produce large reports and shorter newsletters, as
well as preparing documents for printers.

That's just what the Internet needs: innovative new ways to exploit
the average business web site owner. Armies of PDF click through
frauders are ready to train ... tents full of them ...

Thank goodness for alternative open source PDF viewers, the brainwash (ads)
won't be needed. :-)

By the way, hold s*! This NG has become unreadable with these levels of Google
Groups SPAM. It's like every single thread which is spam is marked blue for
arriving from that dumpster. It makes AISE unpleasant to read and if Google
does nothing about it, then its Do No Evil mantra can be rubbished.

I might add that Google Groups staff is EXTREMELY unresponsive (even when it
comes to abuse and endless libel). To be fair, Yahoo seems to be better in
that regard.

Google, what happened to you? You've become so arrogant.

Reporting it to GG works (for me). Or do just like everybody else, filter
it. I guess Knode can score? I use currently:

[.]
Score: -9999
Message-ID: <.*\.googlegroups\.com>
~From: markrush@gmail\.com

Which means kill if from googlegroups, except if mark r is using it :-)

Yes, in general Google is quite slow with doing something about spam. But
once you have convinced them they really do their very best.

Google has become big, or: yet another company.

Among the latest threads (haven't been in AISE for a week or so), only one

among 60 or so threads is not from Google Groups (it's highlighted in blue
using Knode). Almost everything looks like SPAM (a shallow look from above).
It makes AISE almost impractical to read. :-( :-(

Can't Knode hide messages with a score that's below a certain threshold?
That's what Xnews does.

Or score the people you want to read high :-)

Yes I can use viewing threshold as well, but I want to distinguish rather than
hide (with the exception of trolls, which rarely exist here in AISE).
