Something I have noticed since the introduction of the new iPod photo: Apple have placed the iPod Store banner ads in AppleInsider.

I thought that Apple hated all those "rumors" sites so much that Apple would never recognise that web site (except when their lawyers send those legal "ceased and diseased" letters or lawsuites), let along put advertisements on their site (which in turn finanically support those rumors site operation).

Has Apple changed their strategy to "rumors" site?

They probably use some banner ad distribution that places it on sites without their knowledge.

Or maybe they realized their target audience.

I checked that HTML code, and it looks like it's either manually coded, or generated from AppleInsider's PHP engine. It's not come from the Google Ads or Valueclick etc.
