Suzi Turner interviewed Ben Edelman who has posted a new article where he presents and critiques the current installation and operation practices of certain toolbars provided by InterActiveCorp/Ask.

Both writeups make for an interesting and informative read; Ben Edelman’s article has screenshots as well as a video made on October 15, 2006 showing a non-consensual installation of the Ask toolbar.
