Can Steve Jobs unplug cable TV?
CBS and Disney may join Apple's $30 per month TV service, says the Wall St. Journal
This could be totally disruptive. Or it could be another "hobby" like Apple TV that never quite takes off.

Internet TV: When, dammit?

The departure of outsized NBC chief Ben Silverman is the third time that the producer will team up with IAC's Diller.
By Richard Siklos, Editor at large
Ben Silverman's departure from NBC this morning comes as no huge surprise: he was an out-of-the-box choice to head programming at major broadcast network and his two-year-plus tenure was marked by lots of attention on Silverman's outsized persona but little yet in terms of new MORE
