Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

No Baseball For You, Mac Users

CNet News.com reports Microsoft is offering access to all audio and video MLB Webcasts for the 2004 season, for about $30. The catch: You have to be using Windows, and you have to sign up for MSN Premium.
Here's the deal: Sign up for MSN Premium and you get the first three months free, including access to all video- and audio-casts from MLB.com. After that, you pay $9.95 a month. For the full six-month baseball season, which runs from April to September, that comes to only about $30.

By contrast, Mac users--equipped with their high-resolution "cinema" displays--get stuck paying MLB.com's regular rate of about $100--$70 more. MLB.com's All Access offering, which includes live video and audio, goes for $19.95 a month, or $99.95 a season. MLB.com shuts out Linux customers altogether, at least for now.
I don't know if I'm willing to compromise my anti-MSN principles. It's awfully tempting.
