You do have to hand it to Arrington to run an interstitial welcome.html ad on there today based on the volume of traffic coming in to check out the hacking story . . .
That ad was planned before we were hacked, the timing was a total coincidence. Michael is out in Davos, Switzerland right now — he isn't masterminding an opportunistic ad campaign.
