Day By Day March 30, 2010 – Bite Me
Apple Computer can advertise where and when it wants. This is private enterprise.
More than 200 companies have joined a boycott of Beck’s program, making it difficult for Fox to sell ads. The time has instead been sold to smaller firms offering such products as Kaopectate, Carbonite, 1-800-PetMeds and Goldline International. A handful of advertisers, such as Apple, have abandoned Fox altogether. Network executives say they believe they could charge higher rates if the host were more widely acceptable to advertisers.
However, Fox News and Glenn Beck in particular have a following and should a competitor arrive to rival Apple’s products (particularly thinking the new i-Pad) that competitor may very well pick up this business. It is not politics or political ideology – it is business.

We are all painfully familiar with the typical shot of a human subject getting intimate with a cherry blossom tree at this time of year. As evidenced by the title of his shot, we had pretty much the same reaction as Hoffmann upon seeing this variation on the theme.Thanks
