Blendle Bets Readers Will Micropay for Good Journalism
Blendle, a Netherlands-based news aggregation site that draws
comparisons to Spotify, on Wednesday announced its beta launch in the
U.S. Blendle made its debut with the participation of several major new
organizations and financial backing from Axel Springer and The New York
Times. The 5-year-old company, which recently expanded into Germany, has
opened the beta phase to 10,000 users.

iPad Pro Wants to Be Your Next PC
When Apple unveiled its 9.7-inch iPad Pro earlier this week, it aimed
the tablet squarely at the PC replacement market, with Senior VP Phil
Schiller describing it as the "ultimate upgrade for existing iPad users
and replacement for PC users." More than 600 million PCs in use are 5
years old or more, he said. The Pro's 64-bit A9X processor rivals that
of most portable PCs, Apple said.

Commoditizing Software
For more than 50 years, the IT industry has followed a well-known script
associated with emerging and evolving paradigms: First a product or
category is introduced, then it gains wide acceptance (or dies on the
vine), followed by a long period when vendors and customers seek out
more efficient ways to produce the thing. Ultimately, the category
becomes so important that all must have it.
