Is Google serving up ads targeted at sites which categorize themselves as "extreme porn," bestiality," and "child porn"? Rest assured, it is not. But if you are a website publisher using DoubleClick's Ad Planner to select categories to match your site to advertiser's interests, you might think so. The screenshot at right and below shows what one publisher found when choosing self-descriptive categories. Under "Adult" and "Porn" are those three categories. The issue was first brought to Google's attention in this help forum, and subsequently by TechCrunch.
It turns out this is a software bug, but what a doozy. DoubleClick, which is part of Google, maintains a blacklist of categories and keywords it will not serve ads against. Those include "extreme porn," "bestiality," and "child porn." Somehow categories from the blacklist started appearing as regular options within Ad Planner. Google is removing those now and says no ads were actually served against those categories even if somebody selected them.

Just days ago, Palm revealed a bunch of details surrounding webOS 2.0, which, as the name implies, is an upcoming major update to their webOS platform. Shortly thereafter, they released a big chunk of webOS 2.0 to a small section of their development community as part of a Beta program.
Almost immediately, one of these developers unearthed one little bit that Palm didn't intend anyone to find: a lingering mention of a virtual keyboard -- something which webOS doesn't have, and that Palm has yet to confirm as a feature.
So, what do you think Palm did? Did they pull the stone-face routine, and say they don't comment on rumors and speculation? Did they send out an e-mail saying "Hey guys, we gotta be more careful!" and move on? Nope. They freaked the hell out.

"Flash Websites? There's A Phone For That."
To any ne'er-do-blog-read layman, the full page ad that Motorola just put in the New York Times might just seem oddly worded. To anyone who has even considered considering themselves a gadget geek -- or has, at least, turned on their TV anytime in the past year and a half and seen Apple's "There's An App For That" campaign -- there's no question who this one's aimed at.
