SI is profitable, but these cuts will make it "more profitable."

Too much cost-containment these days. Not enough innovation. Not enough longer-term thinking. Too many companies fellating analysts love for trimming overhead and living for quarterly reports instead of 5-10 year planning.

And speaking of bloated overhead, George Dohrman won a Pulitzer a decade ago by breaking a story. Ever since, he's been trying to recapture that magic jumping onto another story and trying to dig further. It, uh, hasn't worked.

Before the Dohrman story, I was considering subscribing, but after that trash, I thought, "Wow, you guys just don't want my money. Ok, then I won't give it to you. Besides, it had to be said.
