'Roll Your Own News' DVDs Now Shipping
theodp writes "Amazon.com and CBS have partnered to offer a la carte news clips on custom-made DVDs. Pay $24.95 and you'll get 10 clips or 90 minutes, whichever comes first. Not too surprisingly, CBS News seems to have the best coverage on the new service."
I'd rather read news from bloggers, the real heroes, who sit on their asses reading news reports and giving me the real story. Fuck all that "traveling to other countries" and "gathering original reporting" shit.
Doesn't news become old news in about the same amount of time it takes to cook a DVD?
However if they are licensed anally (as I suspect they will be) then this service is useless.
Wow, I guess RIAA/MPAA & friends really are out to screw us over.
Help me take back Slashdot. When did 'News for Nerds' become 'FUD and Conspiracy Theories for Extremist Nutjobs'?
Feel free to suggest a better word.
I think it's perfect

old news ? :)
--- I am known for the ones who want to find me on the net. Is that a privacy risk or a privilege? One might wonder..
Well, it seem that CBS has stumbled on a new anti-piracy measure! I, for one, predict that these old clips of old news will not be found on any bittorrent sites in the future. Truly ingenious and no DRM needed to boot.
My hat is off to you, CBS.
In other news, the RIAA has been experiment with zero value content for years now....
I'm confused. Is this supposed to be "news for nerds" or "stuff that matters"? Doesn't really seem to fit into either.
It's "news about stuff", 2 outta 4 ain't bad.
If I go for standard shipping does that mean it's a slow news day?

Not me. I'd rather watch my news on the major media cable channels. I trust Bill O'Reilly and Lou Dobbs to give me the facts, clear of any bias or corporate agendas.
barack to the future?
How could they DO this? HOW COULD THEY DO THIS? I can't beleive it. I just found out! Commodore is no longer making the 64!!!!!!!! No it's true, I just saw it on the news.....
