Was Appleinsider hacked? When I try to navigate away from their page, I get a pop up with a pornographic advertisement trying to keep me on that site.

Using Firefox 3.6.15 on OS X 10.6.6. So, it's not the typical Windows virus/Trojan.
 
Their page seems to be compromised. When you go there, it tries to load all sorts of background crap and advertisements.
 
I'm not having the same issues as you. Google chrome, pop-ups are enabled of course to test the site.

Click to expand...

I just tried it, and the same thing happened to me. Like you I'm using Firefox 3.6.15 on OSX 10.6.6.
 
The site works fine for me on Safari. One thing to check is your DNS servers. For more details, read the "Why am I being directed to other sites?" section of the following link:
 
Same problem here...

I experienced the same annoying popup in Google Chrome 10.0.648.134 on Windows 7 Ultimate N 6.1 (Build 7600). :mad:
 
Still happening

I have been reading there awhile and now these messages are appearing... very strange... google chrome 10 mac os x 10.6.6
