- Washington Post: Print-Heads vs. Web-Heads
- Mathew Ingram submits: The recent cuts at the Washington Post WPO — as reported by Politico and Washington’s City Paper — have once again brought to the surface a culture clash that has been going on in mainstream newsrooms for most of the last decade, and one that shows...

- Google: The Impossibility of Rational Debate
- Mathew Ingram submits: I just can’t resist saying something about the ridiculous “study” that a consulting firm called Precursor did of the bandwidth that Google GOOG supposedly uses but doesn’t pay for. The headline on the email I got — which I assume was sent to tens of thousands...

- Microsoft Admits Apple's iPhone Is Better
- Mathew Ingram submits: As a number of people have already noted, Microsoft’s MSFT release of Seadragon for the iPhone — an image-viewing app based on the deep-zoom technology behind the software giant’s Photosynth project — doesn’t just seem like an admission that the iPhone is better than any other...

- GateHouse Tries Turning Back the Hands of Internet Time
- Mathew Ingram submits: With David Carr’s argument that newspapers should ignore the Web only a few days old — not to mention Joel Brinkley’s suggestion that anti-trust violations are a viable business model — I thought the market for stupid newspaper-related activity was pretty well saturated. But apparently I...

- Apple's Credibility Problem
- Mathew Ingram submits: For some time now, there has been speculation that Steve Jobs was sicker than either he or Apple AAPL wanted to admit. At first, the company said that he simply had “a bug,” and then when the company announced that he would not be doing his...

- Newspaper Industry: Evolution or Catastrophe?
- Mathew Ingram submits: There have been — and will no doubt continue to be — plenty of blog posts, magazine articles and even irony of ironies the occasional newspaper story written about the death of the newspaper. It’s become almost a cottage industry, poring over the imminent failure of...

- Many Newspapers Are Healthy; Some Owners? Not So Much
- Mathew Ingram submits: Amid all the doom and gloom about newspapers laying off staff and closing bureaus and even — as in the case of Tribune Co., parent company of the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and Baltimore Sun — filing for bankruptcy, there has been very little attention...

- GateHouse - NYT Deal: A Bad Precedent
- Mathew Ingram submits: It’s going to take some time to think through the implications of the settlement PDF link announced today between the New York Times Co. NYT and GateHouse Media GHS, over the issue of NYT’s Boston.com site aggregating content from local sites belonging to GateHouse, but...

- Yahoo Should Buy the New York Times? Puh-lease
- Mathew Ingram submits: As everyone waits to find out how new Yahoo! YHOO CEO Carol Bartz plans to resuscitate the struggling Internet giant, in the meantime, the stress of watching Yahoo! bungle one thing after another — such as coming within inches of a merger with Microsoft MSFT, only...

- Kudos to New York Times on Open API for News Initiative
- Mathew Ingram submits: There’s been a lot of chatter about the newspaper industry in recent weeks — about whether newspaper companies should find something like iTunes, or use micropayments as a way to charge people for the news, or sue Google GOOG, or all of the above — and...

- Microsoft and Yahoo: Anything Brewing?
- Mathew Ingram submits: Kara Swisher at All Things Digital always gives me grief when I do this, but I’m going to do it anyway: Namely, point to a rumour — in this case, a rumour in the Times of London about Microsoft MSFT) making some kind of convoluted deal...

- If the New York Times Is Broken, Can It Be Fixed?
- Mathew Ingram submits: Seth Godin, marketing guru extraordinaire, has an interesting post about how the New York Times NYT has missed the boat and is fighting the wrong war to mix a couple of metaphors. In it, he puts his finger on one of the biggest factors that make...

- Twitter's Hunt for a Business Model
- Mathew Ingram submits: It’s been a Twitterific kind of week, in a lot of ways. Not just because Ev Williams seized the reins of power such as they are at the startup — which led to lots of theorizing about why Jack Dorsey, who originally came up with the...

- Google's 'First Click Free' Is Fine
- Mathew Ingram submits: Nick Carr has a post on his Rough Type blog in which he whips up a typical sort of doomsday scenario about Google’s GOOG use of a policy called “First Click Free.” In a nutshell, this allows publishers to serve up different content to people who...

- New York Times: Revenue Plummets, Debt Is Junk
- Mathew Ingram submits: Is the New York Times NYT running on fumes, as Henry Blodget says at Silicon Alley Insider? I would argue that it’s probably even worse than that. It’s not just running out of gas — it’s only firing on one or two cylinders, the points and...

- Do Web Versions of Office Applications Hurt Microsoft or Google More?
- Mathew Ingram submits: So Microsoft MSFT seems to have finally woken up and decided to get serious about the Web — or at least semi-serious — by rolling out a cloud-computing platform called Azure and announcing the imminent arrival of Web-ized versions of its Office applications (my favourite response...

- Google's Settlement Over Book Scanning Project Is a Huge Step
- Mathew Ingram submits: I just got an email from Google GOOG PR, saying the company has settled its long-running legal battle with publishers and authors over its ambitious book-scanning project, a settlement that was rumoured to be in the works for the past month or so. The project has...

- Can YouTube Convince the Entertainment Industry That It Is the Place to Be?
- Mathew Ingram submits: According to the New York Times, the rumours about YouTube adding full-length movies are about to come true — sort of. The paper says that MGM Metro Goldwyn Mayer will announce a deal with the video site on Monday to run some full TV shows and...

- YouTube Is on a Roll
- Mathew Ingram submits: Just yesterday, it was Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer that signed a deal with YouTube (acquired by Google GOOG), allowing the video site to run full-length versions of movies although the initial selection was somewhat less than stellar. Today, the site announced a deal with Freemantle Productions, the creators of...

- Yang Was Never the Right CEO for Yahoo!
- Mathew Ingram submits: Why did it take so long? That’s the only question that remains unanswered when it comes to Yahoo!'s YHOO Jerry Yang and his erstwhile leadership of the company he co-founded, at least as far as I’m concerned. It didn’t really make any sense for him to...
