So the OC Register has decided to charge for content. Because people who don't subscribe shouldn't be blessed with the in-depth, hard-charging coverage that the paying people get.
So for $2 a DAY, you can read the OCR's website! That's only $10 a week if you need to kill time at work! A bargain at $520 a year! But wait, if you really read it all week, how about $7 for 7 days? Now you're looking at the sweet bargain of $364 for the year!
This, from a website that has only slightly fewer grammatical and spelling errors than a Yahoo! article. A website that lets you know there was a car accident on the 22 fwy, so you know to go check the TV station websites if you want actual information.
