You know why the Internet really wins? Because I DON'T have to deal with stupid worthless news like this. Sorry, but unless I suddenly wake up as the CMO of a sponsor company, a trader with options in such a company, a competing golfer, or David Murdock (who owns the Sherwood golf club), this news is NOT essential to my life and I am glad my only connection to it is this stupid TechCruch article. By allowing me to customize who and what I consume, the Internet allows me to get rid of all of the crap that CNN et al try to shovel at me. That's mainstream media's real problem -- they have completely alienated the most affluent and intelligent among their readers. And in case you're wondering what I'd consider "vital news" -- how about the potential default of a sovereign nation (Dubai) which could trigger a CDS event which could re-trigger the global financial crisis?

And in case you're wondering what I'd consider "vital news" -- how about the potential default of a sovereign nation (Dubai) which could trigger a CDS event which could re-trigger the global financial crisis? I think the point is-- no matter what you consider vital news, the Internet is a better way to get that news faster and more accurately than traditional mainstream media.
