I agree with your take on this, but what I don't get is how Murdoch is able to continue in this campaign.

It seems to me that he is damaging his reputation and the reputation of his companies with all the press this idea is generating. Does he not have advisors that he consults with before making these press releases? ...I wonder if he just fires anyone who attempts to talk him out of it? The whole thing seems starkly suicidal. Who would invest in such an idea? Are there actually people who believe it can work?

Comment Advertising Price Difference (Score 1) 420

It seems strange to me that the advertising price is so different, can anyone give me a good explanation why an advertiser's paper advertisement would be more successful than the same advertisement on the web? The only good argument I can come up with is AdBlock, but given AdBlock's install base, I don't see this as being enough of a factor to account for the difference. Why would a printed ad be more successful than an online ad?

Now that I think of it, this might be the reason that Apple removes all the Apps with profanity on them, because they're operating under a different set of regulations (i.e. the ones the FCC covers) with a mobile transmitter than with a normal computing device.

The FCC regulating the content of a subscription service? Sounds unlikely.

Comment Re:More Information on Philip K. Dick Movies (Score 1) 117

Given the lack of similarity between Next and The Golden Man, I was very surprised that they credited Dick at all.

If I'd seen that movie without knowing it was supposed to be based on The Golden Man, which I'd just read by coincidence a couple weeks before seeing Next, I'd never have even thought of it.
