,----[ Quote ]
| Having begun my day by sniping at the New York Times, I wanted to end it by
| complimenting it: The company released version 2.0 of its Times Reader
| application today. The new version–which dumps Microsoft’s Silverlight
| platform for Adobe’s AIR–runs on Windows, OS X, and Linux, and in many ways
| it’s an impressive piece of work.

| There were some high-profile glitches, including last year’s opening day,
| which saw many MLB.com subscribers struggling to log in and others who were
