The End of Free

indeed. It seems that Blogger will soon cease to be a free-only web app. Some are predicting that the anouncement Evan is going to make will be a Blogger Premium service.

I’m certain that lots of people will become very discombobulated over this news, but I think it’s great news and wish Evan all the luck in the world with the new service.

The idealist in me (who really knows nothing of the back-story of the demise of the original Pyra) kinda wishes that they could have gotten this together a year or so ago so that that whole gang could have stuck it out as a team. But again, I know little to nothing of the back-story there, so it’s sort of ridiculous to suggest it.

Wired News’

Annual Vaporware Report. I betcha $20 that they held it until they found out what was going on at Macworld. It says it was published at 2am PST, which means that they had plenty of time to see the Time Magazine screwup. Number 1 would have been “Flat Panel iMac” if not for Jobs’ announcement today.

As of right now

(that is 11:02am EST), this version of the embargoed story about the new iMac is still available. But it’ll be a moot point in a couple hours.
