#3Wow, I had no idea the ads were so huge and invasive. It made me wonder how much Ralph Lauren spent to have their ads take what seemed to be over 50% of the on-screen real estate.

Counterpoint: "news" is the lie that something important happens every day.

Just to be fair, many of the most intrusive ads I saw there were interstitials - they show for a few seconds then disappear.

#6This is based on an incorrect assumption: ... no one is storing their frontpage layout data.
The Newseum has this covered for over 800 newspapers. A recent front page of the New York Times, for example:

Depends on what you define as "important", but with 6.5 billion people on the world, there are certain to be remarkable or notable events with great regularity and frequency.

#8It's interesting to see the typo fixes and how long different stories last. At 2:11 a story relevant to us all. I wonder (with regards to his point about things disappearing forever) if a distributed effort among "tech people" to catalog a lot of websites would work, different people run nodes that are given tasks. Would be neat to keep a track of the top 1,000 article driven sites for a year (not just news, reddit, hn etc.)

This has happened to me a few times. Recently I had accidentally collected over 100,000 copies of a website over a 3 month period after forgetting the thing was running.

Important to whom? What people find remarkable and notable varies wildly. What may be notable to one group (say the residents of X-town may find the mayoral election notable) might not be to another (Y-town doesn't care).
Something remarkable or notable may happen every day, but it's not necessarily the case that something remarkable or notable to a specific person happens every day.

#10If they collected the html and not just screencaps, it would be interesting to see a word-cloud evolve and change over time too.
Too bad there isn't an annual follow up for every major story.
