Subscribe via iTunes — but publishers don’t like it “Apple Inc. launched a new App Store service that allows for media subscriptions on its popular iPhone and iPad devices, but publishers and other suppliers of content aren’t rejoicing.” — The Wall Street Journal
$100m for Huffington, but bloggers still aren’t getting paid “There is also a questionable irony in Huffington pocketing a rumoured $100m from this deal, a figure she refuses to confirm or deny.
