Internet Kills LA Times National Edition
Doc Ruby writes "The LA Times announced that it is folding its national edition on 12/31/04. The Times spokesperson said the paper's mission has been to reach 'key Washington, D.C., and New York audiences,' and that 'other electronic ways of reaching those audiences became more plentiful.' The folding edition will be replaced by "remote printing" by NewspaperDirect, and their email highlights, Top of the Times. Is this the way all our newspapers will be going?"
Fixing your computer:
1) Unplug everything connected to it.
2) Neatly repack everything in their original box.
3) Return computer to place of purchase, demand a refund due to "user error", insist that the sales person told you that "utter incompetence" was covered under the warranty.
4) ???
5) Profit!
I only read online news. First, I get to read news for free since I don't have to buy the paper, but more importantly, I save time. For example, on CNN or any other news channel, they'll announce a story that you really want to hear as "coming up after the brake." After the brake, they'll go to something else, then something else, and so on. It will take 30-40 minutes before one sees that story. 24 news channels talk a lot with saying nothing, and you also have to see a ton of commercials. Online I can read the story, hear the story, and view the story wihouth having to wait on them and their commercials.
