How much does MS charge people to put content on MSN? I don't know, and I don't really care. If I did want to put stuff there, I'm pretty sure they would charge me, based upon some sort of SLA. Why would it suprise anyone that the same would be true of apps running off MS Messenger?
Doh! I forgot -- we don't bother to check anything around here.
Could you explain to me how this works? The options you suggest are either: (a) ask for your money back. I wait in line for 2 hours, get a seat, and sit and sit and sit. Movie starts (ooops, I mean trailers). 30 minutes later, the movie starts. Do I ask for my money back now? Or after the movie. I think after all that time waiting the psychology is that you will sit through 45 minutes of trailers. After the movie, who's going to give you your money back? (b) Go to another theater When would someone find out that the theater has 30 minutes (or more!) of trailers or ads (commercials--the newest features of movies)? Maybe after a few days, but the big rush (and big demand for 30 minutes of trailers) will be in the first few days?
