Has NBC gone mad?
It's almost unbelievable that the network wants to charge $5 for shows it sells on iTunes. Almost.
By Farhad Manjoo [2007-08-31]

  • Crazy like a fox?

    (All puns intended.)

    Unless as other blogs have suggested, it was a ploy for NBC/Universal to break the contract and attract attention to their new service--that shall remain unnamed here. :-) If Apple had swallowed the deal, then consumers would be screaming "$5 for an episode of Heroes?!? When I can go to (rhymes with boolah).com and get it for free?! Screw Apple!" If Apple says no, NBC/Universal points fingers at them for being poor sports and bullying content providers.

    But never, never underestimate the power of Reality Distortion Field!
