The kicker is this: we're not only paying for the articles, but also for all of the ads that we have to sift through.
This seems like a win-win situation for someone who wants to read scientific articles, but it also sounds like it will hurt more than just the societies and the publishers. It might put several of my favorite magazines out of business.
I also wonder how easily accessible these articles will be.
I wonder what the change in storage will do to the number of ads displayed in Yahoo's mail. I haven't used their email in quite a number of years, but from what I remember they had quite a lot of ads.
All things considered, in order for Yahoo to give 25 times more space than they had previously, there is a likelihood that advertising will go up as well. I wonder how other free email services will respond to this.
Interesting math books remind me of a book I read a few years ago. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea by Charles Seife. As fun and interesting as I found math to be, I think that book really did it for me as far as spine tingling mathematics.
