The Daily: Murdoch’s old wine in Jobs’ new bottle

The video intro to Rupert Murdoch’s new iPad publication The Daily is crazily underwhelming.

Some folks seem excited by the price — 99 cents per week or $39.99 per year — arguing that this is far cheaper than a newspaper.

It’s also far more expensive than all the other news sources on the web. Not only does it not do anything particularly new (and therefore justifying some extra effort/expense) but it doesn’t do a lot of things that make the web so amazing — comments, socializing, and hyperlinks to a nearly infinite tree of additional information.
