SlashNOT Staffer Matthew explains the new policy:
“While browsing the web on my Toshiba Satellite 5104-S607 Pentium 4 laptop computer, I suddenly realized that in-line product placements would be a good source of revenue for SlashNOT. So I fired up my Sharp Zaurus 5500SL Linux-based PDA and fired of an e-mail through our Microsoft Exchange 2000 based mail system running on a Dell PowerEdge 6450 server to a media buyer representing a number of technology companies. He made a few calls, set up some deals, and now we’re able to deliver this exciting new advertising vehicle to our demographic, and even more excited about the revenue it’s generating.”
“I don’t think we need to worry about offending our readers. I think they know to expect this kind of crap from us by now.”
