    Has anyone else else noticed this

    When you click on an advert on any article on the times

    (http://www.timesonline.co.uk)

    It launches the site in a new window.

    (Please note i am NOT trying to boost Mr Murdochs turnover)

    Isn't this against the TOS or do big players get a special arrangement with google.

    NY times has preferential treatment as well

    Does this only apply to the newspapers?
