News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch was interviewed by Fox Business Channel and the discussion touches on Apple and the iPad. Murdoch said, “All media is going to go onto the iPad, whether it be music, or books, or newspapers, or movies; you’ll be able to get [them] on your iPad. Now it’ll be pretty small to start with, but there’ll be more iPads, there’ll be more competition… coming very quickly.”

and there’ll be more posturing and lawsuits, but there’s only ONE iPad.
He may be scum, but he does know the business.
What an interesting interview. RM seems a little slow, or something. I cannot imagine working with him. But he really does seem to “get it.”
How is he scum?
I agree with Mr. Reece, but I’ll add that he’s a virus as bad as any effecting M$ products.
He may want to destroy western civilization, but at least he’ll use the iPad to do it.
Did Jobs rell him there wold be bigger iPads coming in the future???
Destroy western civilization? Does that mean he’ll spare Europe and Asia? They are, after all, in the East.
MDN- wake up! If you really want to practice what you preach about helping to “kill Adobe’s Flash” then you need to STOP embedding YouTube into your pages. ALL embedded videos are STILL Flash EVEN if you signed up for HTML 5 beta. Practice what you preach and provide a link to YouTube video until Google gets the embedded HTML5 working..,
“How is he scum?”
Anyone who doesn’t approve of free handouts for deadbeats is “scum” in the minds of Left Wing Trash….
is it me or does he sound a bit inebriated?
“He may be scum, but he does know the business.”
No, Murdoch doesn’t “get it”. He’s working from an entirely old media framework and is fumbling around trying to pigeon-hole it into Web 2.0, sort of like trying to punch a square piece of wood through a round hole. Trying to stop Google from indexing and searching the Internet? Are you serious, this is someone who “gets it”? He may be able to stop Google from indexing his content–which I think is desirable and would improve the quality of the Internet–but that would mean the death of his publications, and he knows it.
Wired Magazine “get it”, the NY Times “gets it”, and they will show Murdoch how it should be done.
I’m scum, too.
@@wmd,
“Anyone who doesn’t approve of free handouts for deadbeats is “scum” in the minds of Left Wing Trash….”
I bet you’re a big hit in your church…
Say what you will about Rupert, but at least he still employs real journalists.
Watch FOXNews’ Bret Baier actually put real questions to Obama and not back down here:
Part 1
Part 2
“the NY Times ‘gets it.'”
Best laugh of the day.
Woo hoo! In the red corner, GeeOne fires a great one across the bow!! (which I’ll agree with). And in the blue corner….!!
The NYT’s gets it? Yeah, right. The Wall Street Journal is the only major paper retaining subscribers and not leaking money like a sieve.
@Journo,
Faux really held Bush/Cheney’s feet to the fire, didn’t they?
Arnold Ziffel,
Even if what you say is true (I do not agree with your opinion), that does not negate the fact that virtually no other mainstream media outlet will ask Obama a tough question, preferring to continue giving him the free ride they started at the very beginning of his campaign (which is why, in my opinion, he’s in office today).
In the old days, the extremely inexperienced would get weeded out by the media, not heavily promoted by them.
The media has lost its way. Even if you think FOXNews is a right-wing booster, it’s better that it exists than not, as it at least provides some balance.
Just watched the video on my iPhone, no Flash required. The practice what you preach comment seems a bit obtuse
Journo,
I don’t believe nor trust any of the corporate media. I believe CNN, NBC, and ABC are worst than Faux – at least Faux doesn’t pretend to be anything but the propaganda arm of the Republican Party.
And the biggest shareholder of NewsCorp the parent company of Faux News is owned by Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who donates money to families of suicide bombers. Google it if you don’t believe me. And thanks to our bought and paid for Supreme Court most of your future politicians will be brought to you in part by terrorist dollars.
@ Renaldo-
He’s not trying to stop Google from indexing & searching the Internet, he’s trying to replace lost revenue from paper subscribers with revenue from web subscription, which people are so accustomed to getting for free, that it’s going to be a rough transition. Not only for the providers, but also for the subscribers.
Eventually, all the big paper publishers will have to embrace this method, or somehow force people to watch online ads.
Hopefully, the iPad will help ease the transition.
@ GeeOne
“wmd, “Anyone who doesn’t approve of free handouts for deadbeats is “scum” in the minds of Left Wing Trash….”
I bet you’re a big hit in your church…”
Ahh, you give unlimited money to lazy people?
Notice WMD said “deadbeats”, not poor and unfortunate. I know many people that are poor but work their ass off to make life better for themselves. I also know deadbeats, perfectly able to work but “choose” to sit on their ass and watch TV all day and then whine about not having any money.
Plus you might want to look up the definition of “deadbeats” in Apple’s own dictionary: an idle, feckless, or disreputable person.
Not someone I will support in my church.
