Every morning I get a cup of coffee at my local coffee place and it's amazing. But I don't want to spend $4 every morning when water is free. Anyone have any suggestions?
I have no problem paying for news. I pay for the WSJ, and will as other subscriptions become available. I want these news sources to develop commercially viable ways to survive -- and if that's charging me, charging me and doing ads, or just ads, I'm all for it.
I love The Daily.. but ill never spend that much money on it.. ever. don't like it that much.
Zite + Pulse + Flipboard + some google reader for me.

I love driving and it's amazing to be covered from the elements. But I don't want to spend $xx,xxx on a car and gas when walking is free. Anyone have any suggestions?

OP you sure walked into this one...
And the week that I had my iPad 2 (before I sold it) I used the daily for a few days. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed. The "magazine-like" layout is underutilizing the iPad's potential. And too few topics and articles. As others mentioned I prefer free news apps (such as cnn and USA Today) and compilation apps (such as pulse and flipboard)
I must say the one benefit from peeking at this thread is I learned of a new app, Zite. When I re-buy an iPad 2 I will definitely look into that one

I want to move to Hawaii because it's so beautiful. However, I can't afford to move there. My friend gave me a book of pictures of Hawaii. What should I do?
Probably because most of those you've just listed are crappy news sources. Huffington post? Ninja please. Quite literally anyone can submit "news" to the huffington post. The one or two decent articles they have are eclipsed by the thousands of absolute garbage "stories" they publish.
Most of the paid news sources I've seen are of significantly higher quality than the free stuff.
Yes, you CAN find good content for free, but you'll spend all day doing it, bouncing between 50 different sources. The paid news gives you all the good stuff in one concise place.
Fox News!
Just kidding, I like the NY Times, the Washington Post (especially their op-eds), the Economist (not available for free), and the Huffington Post for some news with a real liberal slant.
