What confusing times we are living in, yesterday The New York Times announced a new paywall to read their digital content. The Daily’s Paywall will hit your credit cards shortly and then this news…. The Project, the iPad magazine app created by Richard Branson is going free, in so much as Issue 4 anyway. Just head to the App Store and click on download and you won’t be billed a penny/cent. Not only that, they have even updated it for us, it now won’t crash so much and has improved memory management, well what can we say…
