Murdoch Says E-Book Prices Will Kill Paper Books
hrimhari writes "The settlement between Amazon and Macmillian got the attention of a known dinosaur. Consistent to his views, Mr. Murdoch wants to defend his book editors by killing the cheaper solution. '"We don't like the Amazon model of selling everything at $9.99," Murdoch said. "They pay us the wholesale price of $14 or whatever we charge," he said. "But I think it really devalues books, and it hurts all the retailers of the hardcover books.'"
If a new product comes along that is cheaper and more desired by consumers the old product becomes a dead market? What fascinating insight! How can I pay money to see more news from this "Murdoch" guy?
He thinks everything exists for the sole purpose of carrying a price tag.

You got my UID wrong.
who thinks that Fox is biased
You think it isn't?
and yet I'm sure that CBS, CNN, and MSNBC are somehow great news organizations.
Well, then you're not paying attention to my comment; please see my sig. CBS, CNN, and MSNBC are also all owned by one of these megacorporations.
Let me guess, registered Democrat?

Yours shall, I hope, be the only troll comment to which I reply, mostly because you're logged in, and most of the others are anonymous cowards. Plus, yours seemed like the most fun to poop on.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
I think I may be able to explain the discrepancy between the sexes; the government is beaming propaganda about world events via the mind control beams. Men will, of course, raise their tinfoil hats when meeting a lady.
They whose government reduces their essential liberties for temporary security, receive neither liberty nor security.
where's +1 'Used fungible in a sentence' when you need it?
You're right. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
