The article says that the NY Times acquired About.com, and that's a real shame.

About.com is a pretty good source of info.  It's a shame that it'll now be run/controlled by lib wackos at the NY Times.

Market forces are a bitch, ain't they.
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds. It will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
- Charles Mackay, Scottish journalist, circa 1841

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

I freaking hate about.com.  Half-hearted content wrapped in a shoddy interface and surrounded by more ads than you can shake a stick at.
Your secretary is not a graphic designer, and Microsoft Word is not adequate for print design.

Well I'm just all broken up about this.

Maybe they should branch out into the food service industry. I've always thought the NY Times was good for wrapping fish Cheesy

I hope I live to see the day when that rag goes out of business. . . I can see the headline now, (In the NY Times of course):

"Times Corp to close down. . . .blacks, women, poor hurt most. ."
