NYT doomes Akimbo

The NYT apparently thinks Akimbo is not ready for prime time but it has a funny review:
"But that is not even the worst of it. If you drill down far enough into the menus to arrive at the description page for a certain show, you often come upon the chilling words: "$2.99 (30-day viewing period)."There is no bad PR, isn't it?
That's right: not only do you pay for the Akimbo box and its monthly $10 fee to get no-name shows, you also have to pay per show. And even then, the show you buy will erase itself after a month!
This is piracy paranoia run amok. It's insaneto think that anyone would pay so much for cheesy cable reruns and oddities like three-minute how-to videos for new mothers. "
