Of course the Daily Kooks or Wil Wheaton fail to mention the millions that are coming from union bosses and out of state liberal organizations.

Review: PressReader for Mobile Devices →
I’m a news junkie, and if I am stuck somewhere I always pull out a mobile device and get to reading something from somewhere. When presented with the opportunity to take a look at PressReader, I was very excited as it possibly solved a problem I have been having. That problem is that I could not find an easy and efficient way to read the local newspaper on my iPhone or iPad.

When the iPad originally launched, Yahoo had released a very cool and useful app which was an interactive program guide where you could get local and cable TV listings, get news, and watch Yahoo created content. I actually used it often to see what is coming up on TV, so I was disappointed to see that as of March 31st it will be discontinued.
