Networks wary of lowering iTunes TV show prices

Despite last week’s statement from CBS CEO Leslie Moonves that “certain shows” would be sold on the iTunes Store for $1, many networks remain wary of cutting prices in order to boost sales. The New York Times reports that Apple has been pushing for lower TV show pricing—sometimes desperately so, according to private remarks from some TV executives—in an attempt to line up content for the iPad. The networks, meanwhile, are said to be interested in making their offerings more attractive to Apple’s 125 million iTunes account holders. “We’re willing to try anything, but the key word is ‘try,’” said a TV network executive who requested anonymity. The report also states that Apple’s $30 a month subscription proposal has not been ruled out entirely, according to executives at two of the networks, although Apple has encoun

Desktop publishing for Linux at its finest

Over the years, Linux has lacked a good all-around desktop publishing application. Well, those times are over. Enter: Scribus. Scribus is a great application, that ties in features from proprietary programs like Adobe PageMaker, Adobe InDesign, Quark xPress, Microsoft Publisher, and others. Over the years I've used a few of the proprietary programs, mostly PageMaker and Quark xPress. If you are familiar with these proprietary programs, using Scribus will be like second nature. Its features and functionality are similar enough that you will easily be able to catch on and learn it, and hopefully migrate over to it and save yourself from re-purchasing those pesty proprietary programs over and over.
