Thoughts on advertisements in Ubuntu 12.10

[Russell McOrmond]

Here is my translation of Shutgleworth's blog:  we (cannonical) aren't
making money on the for-pay search results, so therefore it isn't an
advertisement.

While us techies can turn this foreign-search off, less technical users
won't know how.  This makes Ubuntu no longer what I can in good conscience
recommend to less technical users.  It is commercial advertising, whether
cannonical is making money or not. Who is making the money doesn't change
that they are ads.
