It lets me read the first paragraph. Then it spnds minutes changing the
layout and adding new articles to the page, rearranging the ads, placing
the "Inside Intel's Chip Factory" video in different places on the page,
and moving it multiple times, and finally tells me the rest of the
article is available to subscribers only.

After that kind of onscreen runaround, I wouldn't subscribe even if I
originally had wanteed to.
