POPS Google Limits Free Access To News Articles Murdoch is wrong if he thinks any but a small number of people will pay for his websites. I visit the TImes regularly and would miss particularly access to the Sunday Times. Not enough however to pay for the privilege, the reality is the same stories will appear for free elsewhere, and on the rare occasions News International does have a genuine scoop, it's a matter of minutes before the same story appears - especially via twitter, or RSS. All this will do is drive clicks to other providers who do not charge. It remains possible however Murdoch was overplaying his hand in order to obtain this concession from google, and his pay for view plan will include free access to a limited number of pages each day - however this bait approach will fall on the same basis, as users will just find the same content elsewhere.

POPSDetroit Pistons Org. Gives Help To Military Families "There is a lot of support for families where someone is deployed, but service people at home don't get the same help," Schroeder said. "We are here to help them." The food distribution was in conjunction with the Pistons Military Salute to be held at 7:30 tonight during the game against the Charlotte Bobcats at the Palace of Auburn Hills. The Pistons are to salute those who have served or are serving in all branches of the U.S. military. Current members or veterans are to receive free tickets while their families can go to the game for $11 a person. In March, the Pistons raised more than $450,000 during the 17-hour 2009 Pistons Care Marathon in support of Feed The Children. Since the telethon, the organization has distributed 25,000 aid boxes throughout the state, including Lansing, Pontiac, Benton Harbor and Kalamazoo.
