Um; I'm a bit confused why noone mentioned StackOverflow's ads yet. I'm not well aware how successful are they with their model, but it seems they are very firm about not allowing Flash & animations. So I'd personally be highly interested in reading some comments on SO's ad system in such a "case study" article like the one above ;) And did you consider contacting them? maybe there'd be even some place for cooperation, with your ideas?

Now, regarding OSnews whitelisting: when using Firefox, I'm running NoScript. And I cannot imagine disabling it. Unfortunately, AFAIK it doesn't allow whitelisting scripts based on the URL where the JS is embedded; the rules are set depending on the server the script originates from, so I can't enable OSn ads without enabling whole ad servers.
On the other side, I'm recently using a Chromium variant more and more [namely: SRWare Iron - they claim it has spyware code removed], which unfortunately doesn't support NoScript... man, how complicated this world is...
