Why won’t people pay $5?
Trent Reznor: Why won’t people pay $5? Answer: They had an option to have it free. Lots of people took you up on that. I know I did, and I liked the album enough to go back and buy a higher-quality version. Don’t beat yourself up, Trent. This is the beginning of something big and you know it. Speaking of which, you really should check out Niggy Tardust if you haven’t already.

NewsGator Frees RSS Readers
For a couple of years, I’ve happily used NewsGator FeedDemon as my RSS reader. I use it to read through a hundred or so feeds that I am subscribed to. (The integration of NewsGator Online with the desktop application is one of my favorite features.) I’ve used Bloglines, Google Reader, and several other web-based RSS readers, and none worked as well as FeedDemon.
Anyways, onto the good news: FeedDemon is now free. As are a few of NewsGator’s other products: NewsGator Inbox for Microsoft Outlook, NewsGator Go! for mobile, NetNewsWire for Mac.
