Where did subscription prices go up when the iPad went for sale? I'm still getting my Times, and no price difference there, buddy.

No, what's different is that the iPad versions are more expensive. You might first think "what the hell? they don't pay for print, ink or shipping, it should be cheaper". Then you calculate in the cost of interactive designs and features, researching new technologies, and creating new workflows, and creating an iPad version of the magazine starts to get more expensive. Throw in that publishers are wary of pricing their content too low, and you get a higher price than a print subscription.

The exact same thing happened with the Amazon-delivered Kindle version of most magazine and newspaper subscriptions, with the difference that the Kindle didn't require multimedia features embedded into newspapers. Don't forget that suddenly newspapers have to take on a whole new job. They used to keep you reading with witty headlines and insightful, thoughtful comments about [whatever]. Now they have to compete with the brainless YouTube videos.

Please stop your "OMG Apple wants to control the world" drama topic. You're trolling, again. Apple has nothing to do with the subscription fees, really. Again, look at the prices for Kindle when it originally came out. They were halved multiple times since then.

Also, how the feck do you go from AT&T killing the unlimited plan to downloading Linux to Apple controlling the internet? Go back to the mental institute mate.
