A subscription… to evil!
This week’s Macworld column looks at the opinions about Apple’s new subscriptions terms and then all the wild and wacky iPhone rumors.
Crossing the line
I totally understand that living in the public spotlight means that privacy sometimes is difficult to come by. I really do understand that. But there are still lines. While I find it distasteful, I get that the Mac Rumors and Apple Insider teams feels compelled to report that Jobs has been seen at a cancer treatment clinic.
However, linking to stories about how long someone has left to live is a different thing entirely — and is way over the line. Gizmodo, 9 to 5 Mac, Cult of Mac and others all crossed that line today.
Nice piece by Stephen M. Hackett (tip o’ the antlers to Jeff Carlson).
