Some Hotspot Operators Secretly Intercept, Insert Ads In Web Pages 273
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from the NYT's "Bits" column: "Justin Watt, a Web engineer, was browsing the Web in his room at the Courtyard Marriott in Midtown Manhattan this week when he saw something strange. On his personal blog, a mysterious gap was appearing at the top of the page. After some sleuthing, Mr. Watt, who has a background in developing Web advertising tools, realized that the quirk was not confined to his site. The hotel's Internet service was secretly injecting lines of code into every page he visited, code that could allow it to insert ads into any Web page without the knowledge of the site visitor or the page's creator."

Contrary to popular belief, a recent study has found that, 'First,' actually comes before second, and is generally regarded as something that should not be mistaken with second.
Remember, One comes before Two comes before 60 comes after 12 comes before Six Trillion comes after 504.
