Slashdot Mirror
Internet Publishing Can Pay Off
An anonymous reader writes "Leander Kahney of Wired News has an article (Net Publishing Made Profitable) about how the publishers of the free, online newsletter TidBITS have hit the jackpot with their highly focused Take Control ebook series (nicely formatted PDFs that are easy to read on screen or print). Authors earn 50% royalties, and the books cost $5 or $10, with free updates. All the books out right now are about Mac topics, but maybe they'll branch out in the future."

He's not a good journalist, he doesn't double check his work, he uses sentence fragments, and he's a complete hack.
But that's just the opinion of one of his anonymous collegues.
So don't quit yer day job Leander. Lord knows Wired.com's a completely retarded for keeping you on staff. If you've hoodwinked them for this long, better hold on till the bitter fucking end.
PS: my incompetence at checking my own work, and this post is completely irrelevent, thank you very much!

Bullshit. Have you ever checked out the Mac-specific piracy scene? Bittorrent, Carracho, and others, all with tons of software being pirated. On top of that, what about the (not going to mention name here) Mac database of serial numbers that's regularily kept up to date? Mac users pirate just as much as other users if you ask me.
