Portrait of a cord cutter – you’re looking at it. Disturbing, a little serial killer-esque, I know.
Five years ago, I moved to NYC from DC with a laptop and an iPod as my only media consumption devices. Eventually I got a TV, and then another – one a smart TV, the other hooked up to an Apple TV, both with easy access to my Netflix and Hulu Plus accounts. The $3 antenna I bought from the discount store delivers a pretty impressive signal on the rare occasions I use it. Every week, my Internet provider wastes postage and paper trying to offer me some amazing deal for adding cable and phone service. (Hardline? How 20th century.)

Acceleration's newest whitepaper on viewability delves into the world of viewable impressions, discussing some of the intricacies of the evolving world of viewability, while debunking some of the misconceptions surrounding the metric.

In a survey for our new report, "How to Fight the Growing Threat of Malvertisements", sponsored by Symantec, we found that 90 percent of ad ops professionals acknowledge the threat of malvertising, and consider malvertising protection "very important." Our newest report with Symantec outlines just why malvertisements continue to pose enormous risks to online publishers, as well as how publishers can find and evaluate the most effective third-party anti-malvertisement vendors.
Fifty percent of ad operations professionals have been targeted by malvertising. And, with a twofold jump in the number of malvertising delivered by ad networks between 2011 and 2012, malvertising has become a legitimate and growing concern for ad ops professionals. However, more than half of those surveyed...
