Using Time Machine on unsupported volumes
Authored by: msadesign on Apr 20, '14 04:32:56AM

"I guess we should expect nothing better from Macworld, I stopped reading your Macworld articles when you started autoplaying video adverts. Spamming MacKeeper adverts over your site helps Mac users install crapware."

Macworld explained elsewhere that auto play was due to some overzealous marketing types (and it's gone). I for one give them the space they need to make the various sites work- as in figuring out how to make them pay. Nothing wrong with that. When they do some dumb stuff, as in the aforementioned 'survey', just cut them a new one- but realize that the content remains pretty good over the sites they manage. The net is still a very new place.

I'd like to see more here, too, but I check it everyday and learn something fairly often.

I'm afraid the autoplaying adverts isn't gone, check this in Safari 5.1 on OS X…

The sidebar has an autoplaying video advert with sound. The sidebar item is titled 'How to videos' which is Macworld.com's own content - so much for blaming the 'other marketing types'.

Generally Macworld content is good, but hunting down which tab is playing this junk makes me want to kill all adverts - everyone loses.
