It's worse, because on the page with all the Palm articles rounded up, if you hover your mouse over the link, the subtext that pops up reads as follows: "Palm Pre ads appear on Engadget on Engadget"
Hmm - so much for the firewall between the Weblogs, Inc. ad division and the Engadget blog staff...
Josh, you're doing a great job, but your predecessors *always* stressed the fact that ad sales had nothing to do whatsoever with blog posts. In order to maintain the respect gadget buyers have for your journalistic independence, you might want to minimize posts like this in the future. Just sayin'...

Wait, doesn't this make this post almost an ad for an ad?

Pity I had Ad Block Plus installed for Firefox and missed this AD

Thanks to FF & Adblock+ I didn't see ads for 2 years now,
All these Ads, remind me of the times (read before 2005) when i use to browse using IE 6 on XP in my OLD 1024x768 Display (yayks!).
