I'm missing the point (if there is one) of the post, Owen. If the Times seemingly misses the boat on tech innovation vis-à-vis the news, you give them shit. If they make a move in that direction, you give them shit. Which is it?

Of course this posture of yours isn't unique toward the Times, but they do seem to be the most frequent target, despite the fact they are doing much better on the Web than any other news (generating) outlet. I certainly think there are things wrong with the Times, but I also wouldn't want to live without it.

In any case, smart guy, the question I have is: Do you have any ideas? Since your "criticisms" are vapid and muddled, how about you give it a shot. What is to be done?
