doesn't always work
Authored by: snoozer on May 17, '06 08:15:27AM
When I go to http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads, the QuickTime ad that comes up starts playing automatically. I was surprised by this, since I've had the setting turned off in System Preferences for ages. (The layout of that page is poor too, by the way -- it has too much white space at the top.)

It's not too obvious; I appreciate the hint!

I have also had this problem for a long time. It seems like about 40% of the time (a complete guess), movies in my browser start playing automatically, even though I have it set not to in the preferences. It's driven me nuts for a long time, so it's at least nice to know that someone else is having the same problem. I wish Apple would fix this so that it worked all the time...
