As much as I'd like to endorse you on this, I have to say out of personal self-interest I'd prefer this not happen... mainly because I'm employed at a major post-house. Already work for the spring season is drying up and the company is having to take "cost-saving measures." Which is to say, making me use my PTO and then take unpaid forced time off.

Let's just convince the networks to start giving the writers a fair cut and everybody just get back to work, eh? I'd prefer to not be evicted.

Concisely put, Mr. Lope. I am very much enjoying the slow progression of entertainment production and distribution away from those old, loathsome cigar-chewing gatekeepers. If I'm lucky, I'll live to see all of my entertainment and information available, á là carte.

If the networks and movie studios are determined to pander to the lowest part of the audience, I'd rather be elsewhere.

One step away? Try zero steps away. The new iMovie posts directly to YouTube. There's your complete end-to-end solution.

Oh wait, do you mean real content? Made by writers and actors and directors and stuff?

Top 10 news stories of the decade

Let the debate begin: Was the iPhone more important than iTunes? Was anything bigger than Google finding a great business model? CNET offers its list of the 10 most important stories of the '00s.

About The Macalope: An Apple blog

Born of the earth, forged in fire, the Macalope was branded "nonstandard" and "proprietary" by the IT world and considered a freak of nature. Part man, part Mac, and part antelope, the Macalope set forth on a quest to save his beloved platform. Long-eclipsed by his more prodigious cousin, the jackalope (they breed like rabbits, you know), the Macalope's time has come. Apple news and rumormonger extraordinaire, the Macalope provides a uniquely polymorphic approach. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
