Yup…

jhnbrssndn:
OK, just to be clear, and as I have just stated elsewhere: I have no problem with the California authorities launching an investigation, or Apple mounting a civil prosecution. I have no view on it either way, that is a matter for them. I do, in fact, have qualms about Gawker’s conduct, and for that matter about any blogger or news organisation using money to gain access to anything...

tedr: Oh, Tumblr.... →
I just noticed for $5 bucks tumblr will promote your blog icon along with 24 others in a 200px box. This is on top of last week’s new revenue scheme of selling pretty blog templates for $9/mo.
