| Channel two reports about new kinds of french fries, and all kinds of weird stuff. And they have the whole world to choose news from. This is a mac news discussion board. I think this counts as news. |

| Also, I find it hard to understand how Mac OS X System & Software section is more relevant. It's description says it is for "questions and problems". Is this news? Yes. Is it a question or a problem? No. |

| These are all courtesy of www.dictionary.com: news __Pronunciation Key__(nz, nyz) pl.n. (used with a sing. verb) 1. a. Information about recent events or happenings, especially as reported by newspapers, periodicals, radio, or television. b. A presentation of such information, as in a newspaper or on a newscast. 2. New information of any kind: The requirement was news to him. 3. Newsworthy material: “a public figure on a scale unimaginable in America; whatever he did was news” (James Atlas). advertisement n : a public promotion of some product or service [syn: ad, advertising, advert] Thus, an advertisement can be news, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still an advertisement. "Sir, you can't bring that dog on this airplane." "Oh this isn't a dog; this is a mammal, just like my son, here."

| ...or the Banner Advertisement slot Which doesn't seem to exist on this site. Perhaps there's a reason for that...
