Questions Worth Asking (Maybe)

Will the fallout ever end for the Brits with the Murdoch/News Corp. scandals?
That would be a big no. Latest word is that British Culture Minister Jeremy Hunt is going end his political career for helping News Corp. take full control of DBS television provider BSkyB.
Is Apple conspiring to fix eBook prices? Or is it just business as usual for the media giant?
Apple’s been accused of colluding with the book publishing industry to set higher prices for e-Books through the use of an “agency model” where Apple gets a 30 percent cut of whatever price book companies want to set for the books. Apple’s response? That’s not collusion. That’s how we sell everything from music to Farmville.
Why did sponsors think it might be scandalous for Mary Tyler Moore to wear capri pants on The Dick Van Dyke Show?
I have no idea. I think she was adorable.
