Sasha's going to regret working for Murdoch.

I get Vanity Fair on my iPad 3D alpha - sadly, content isn't 3D yet, but it's way better than The Daily even if that goes 3D.

Hey, any pics of locals in HP costumes?

I was hoping that meant Sasha was leaving the New Yorker, but it looks like he'll be writing for both.

They also recently gave up on building their own search engine, ask.com, (IAC) and said search was now a "commodity" to be bought from providers like Google, Bing, ...

When you don't have any good ideas or creativity of your own, everything is a commodity.

I hope someone grabs the "How NPR is like the Nazis" beat fast. That shit is hilarious.

MySpace has been a money pit for years. Fox Ad Network was also sold off last month. There wasn't much of interest there. The crown jewel of Murdoch's FIM operation is Fox Sports.

Why would you want any Murdoch venture to succeed? It's going to be the same steaming heap of sensationalistic distraction and right-wing distortion as all his other outlets. So yeah, I hope it fails. We have too much of that garbage already, it's tearing our society apart, and the last thing we need is more of it.
