"Privately-held Unicast, known for ads that appear as a user moves between Web site pages, is challenging rivals in the Internet advertising and publishing business armed with a new patent for delivering ads online.

Unicast says it developed its original ad delivery methods back in 1996, during the infancy of the online ad business."

When will the retardedness stop?

Umm, Never

Simpsons already did it...

If you are going to InterNext, be sure to stop by the Patent Panel on Monday, starting at 4pm.. to talk and listen about how (good and bad) patents affect the industry.

For those that couldn't attend, I'll be posting articles on the session so you won't miss out.

Fight the Toons!
