how much do they pay you to advertise this?
Honestly, even newspapers put a disclaimer on pseudo-news-advertising as “advertising”
Those price reductions certainly don’t qualify as “significant” in my book. The 160gb model drops $2 bucks (a 1.5% decrease).
gorufo,
Actually, I appreciate it. I’m in the market for such a drive.
if you don’t like the headline/story don’t click it. Just like this one from MacNN:

So is this “Adverlism”? “Journatising”?

A slow news day, perhaps?
Nope, they were seeing how many asses would make negative comments.
Interesting-3 so far.
I don’t have a problem with it and I too am in the market for a new FW drive.
If you boneheads don’t like it, don’t read it.
God, get a life…

Why not mark it as “Advert” then It’d be easier to ignore.
I wouldn’t mind but just how is 12 bucks off to be considered significant??
Please MDN, stick to news.
Your site is MacDailyNews not MacDailyAdvertisements
You have by far the very best Mac news site, don’t go all goofy on us.
Wow, I might save $10 on an external hard drive. Are we supposed to be impressed? That difference in price won’t even pay for shipping in many cases. Lower the price by $40 or $50 and then you have a story.
I don’t have a problem with MDN notifying us of some significant product pricing or new product that may help us out. However, I agree with others: This certainly does not qualify as “significant!”
