I heard that Sony and Google decided not to formally announce this today due to Google being well known for April 1 (fools) jokes on their search engine. so, they will be putting out the official press release tomorrow, April 2nd. I can't wait to see it.

NatCh, you dog, you! You suckered me in the whole way. I started off thinking this was a joke but couldn't get past the problem that it meant that you were posting a joke citing real vendors and I became intrigued over the DRM Lite. And so I convinced myself, with a little help from you, that it was real. So then I sat back quietly laughing my head off as I read posts from people who thought it was a joke. All the while, you're sitting back laughing your head off at the whole show. You're just a dog! And that's a compliment. Good show!!

He suckered me as well. I even forwarded a link to his post to several clients and had to -- in a cloud of embarassment -- followup with a note admitting I'd been suckered.
With all that has really been happening in the past few weeks -- Sony and Google partnering, B&N buying Fictionwise -- this was believeable and in my case, wished for. I to the great master of deception in my |

I'm crushed. I even cleaned the pocket lint off my Barnes & Noble discount card, in hopes I might actually use it again. For shame. ;-)

Basically, I set out to "announce" something I wished would happen, and then added the negatives that I figured they'd include in the mix if they were going to actually do it, specifically because those negatives would make the whole thing more believable. Thanks to all those who bought the pig. |
