Wow, The Daily News actually held back on being total jerks. On a side note, WHEN DID THE NEWSEUM bring back their watermarks? *grumble*

Notice something different about today’s page? Perhaps a little faded and gray? Here’s why. That’s right: Newseum’s testing watermarks. Eww. Our take: There has to be a way for Newseum to deal with this on the server end (say, preventing mass downloaders) without sullying the great pages they offer up to the world.
