Bob Iger and Apple Save Network TV?

Mark Cuban:

On the ITunes Store, you can buy the latest episode to Lost and some other shows the day after they air on Network TV. in this case ABC, for $1.99. Sounds simple and reasonable. Not anything earth shattering right ?

I think this is correct – but – I’m not sure about the pricing. Some of it is not worth much, while other shows/documentaries (PBS?) are quite well done.

The New De Young


Zahid Sardar:

With its elegant low-slung copper-clad building in a sophisticated garden setting and gravity-defying, twisting tower, the M.H. de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park will achieve every museum’s goal — to educate the public — about art as well as architecture.
Not since Frank Lloyd Wright’s futuristic Marin Civic Center was completed in 1957 has the Bay Area seen a significant new civic structure that does not affect a classical or postmodern pose. For architecturally conservative San Francisco, it’s the equivalent of St. Louis’ 1960s stainless steel arch, a gateway to bigger, more exhilarating ideas in a post-Bilbao Guggenheim age.
