NOTES ON THAT NEW DIGITAL PAPER EVERYBODY’S GOIN’ ON ABOUT

I was like readin’ today. I do that sometimes. And I found out there was a new digital newspaper. Just for the iPad. A lot of people were making a big deal out of it. And I have one of them iPads. So I thought maybe, that I’d give the free trial a shot.

But I had a bad experience. I couldn’t get the damn danged app to download. Probably for the better, as I didn’t really want to support the folks producing the freakin’ thing. Also, it was early, and I’d barely got through a half cup of coffee. And I, well, kind a had a spell.

Here’s what I left in the review section of the iPad App Store. Oh well. We all have our moments I guess:

Likewise, here, I guess, with Murdoch and Co., even though in this case we’re talking money-grubbing, power-mad nihilists.

“Say what you will about National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”

I hope at the very least, though, that Apple will soon be opening up and changing their non-subscription policies, so people actually practicing journalism can get a fair opportunity.

Otherwise, why not just start planning the splashy intro of the new multi-media Satan app?
