    Can’t do anything about the video – gotta take that up with the folks at the Sacramento CBS station. But the story should read just fine on Macbook, iPhone, iPod or iPad. But if you’d like, it will read extra nicely on our app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app.....29710?mt=8

    Got the D app: great on my iPad. But I still can’t see a flash video in the app. But you knew that, right? CBS gotta catch up with those mobile devices that don’t run anything that ruins performance or burns up battery, like flash.

    Yup. When we publish or embed video, we do our best to make it compatible for the apple os. Can’t do anything about other publishers…

    Beyond the truck crash, think about the environmental footprint that it takes just get to magazines to bookstores. On top of all that, I don’t understand why the magazines were hauled off and dumped in the trash? Shouldn’t the trucking company be responsible salvaging the merchandise and delivering it anyway?
