| 400681 | 2005-10-31 20:57:00 | I was scanning this publication that came with this months edition of PC World and CIO Magazine. It was a blatant advertisement for Vodafone, as every page mentioned them or their products only. Was Telecom given the opportunity to provide input into this magazine. It did not even mention that this was a joint publication of IDG and Vodafone. It should have, so we can determine if there is any bias. It went into the bin, where it belonged. |

| 400682 | 2005-10-31 21:10:00 | Didn't they do this last month with Sony and a publication purportedly about digital cameras? Again, there was no mention of it being an advertisement though it blatantly was. | Miami Steve (2128) | ||
| 400683 | 2005-10-31 22:25:00 | Just another advertising supplement IMO. I subscribe to several magazines and the first thing I do when they arrive is shake them out over the rubbish bin to get rid of all the advertising inserts. Then I read the magazine. Bloody advertising! I know it's necessary but it can be a nuisance at times. |
