News Corp's The Daily iPad App Shutting Down On December 15

Posted by Unknown on Monday December 3, 2012 @01:35PM from the miserable-failure dept.

An anonymous reader writes with news that, as predicted, the iPad only newspaper The Daily failed. From the article: "The goal of The Daily was to provide a modern spin on the news cycle by delivering world news draped in a multimedia experience. In other words, The Daily devoted a lot of resources towards adding photos, video, and touch controls to news stories that would otherwise be static. ... It was announced today that The Daily will be closing up shop on December 15 after failing to rake in the dough."

This would have thrived in Android space. Too bad developers are still buying into the Apple kook-aide.

OK, Murdoch couldn't even get money out of Apple users. I think it's time for him to admit he has no idea what he is doing.

Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.

I love the GQ and Men's Health articles that show the outfits that you're supposed to wear. Suit - $3000, Shoes $750, watch - $8000. Yeah, sure.
Clearly, if you were dressing for success properly you wouldn't be scoffing at those prices. Perhaps you'd be interested in a motivational seminar, a penny-stock scam, or some usurious consumer credit?
