New York Times To Change Online Access Fees, One Week Before Possible Apple Tablet Announcement

imageThe New York Magazine is reporting that the New York Times will  soon be changing the way they charge readers for online content. Incase you have been living in cave for the past two months, the New York Times has leaked a number of details about the Apple Tablet (or iSlate), which is rumored to be announced on January 27th. This is interesting because it means that A) the New York Times is preparing for a possible tablet announcement from Apple on the 27th or B) that Apple has cut a deal with The New York Times to publish content on the tablet. We are pretty sure that Apple has talked with content providers (including  the New York Times) about publishing content on the Apple Tablet, so it is a big possibility. Could we soon be reading the New York Times on our iSlate’s. We will just have to wait and see.

Due to the recent attacks on Google.cn, which exploited flaws in  Internet Explorer, Germany has recommended all of its citizens abandon Internet Explorer for any other browser. The German government specifically cited Internet Explorer 8,7 and 6, but that does not mean you should start using IE 5. Perhaps Germany should go a step

further and ban Internet Explorer completely.
