Million dollar houses, or small houses with no yards. We have to live in the burbs. I also did live closer to work but changed jobs.

Los Angeles. You buy a house and its a trade off between commute and cost per square foot. I HATE LIVING HERE. Often. I spend 90 minutes in a car every day, and while I love my house, my commute, gas cost, lack of public transportation, etc

OK, I was waiting for a moment to dig up budget sheets. As of 2010, these are the line items on a budget to release a major label record. The same (minus a few things) applies to indies. PROMOTION: Indie promo (paying someone to promote to

OK Go would still have to register with a publisher and a PRO if they wanted to see any residuals at all. If they just wanted to bypass music and be a "video" band they'd still have to manage the music bed in some fashion, even if through T

Assuming Spotify signs artists (or Apple for that matter), will they be willing to upfront costs against touring, recording, production? How would they structure recoupment? Apple could structure a better deal because they can cover mechani

Depends on their streaming royalty rate. The death of mechanical as a revenue model is not going to be pretty for anyone.

The real Ari is on our board of directors. It doesn't help recruiting. Telling and believing a great story and treating your culture and team as its own product does.

I did a project in college where I scanned networks for IPP ports and would print agit prop to them The printer panopticon. Oh art school.

Ticketing is weird in that the supply chain exists post wholesale. I have worked on both the live and recorded side of the business. I know most of what could be tucked into a "service fee" from recorded.

You do realize these takedowns are automated? No one at a label sat there and clicked "report"

I don't think you realize the power Rio has with a JV with Universal. Nor the power that Lucien Grange has with the UMG roster and catalog. Plus YouTube is the only Google property with licensing deals for all four majors, but not all four

Still filing some radars against this, including the lingering text formatting issue in Mail. If this follows the typical pattern there will be some sys update right after public release.

Right? I don't think so. I didn't mention the Craigslist "We will never sell classified space online!" diatribe either. The point was: THEY WERE on the forefront of new technologies. OCR was the 5th newspaper online (after Mercury News, SF

To be clear my mom was on the right side. The publisher was on the "threat" side.

Newspapers are finally accounting for their assumptions of necessity throughout the last 15 years. My family was involved in what at one time was the second largest paper in CA (the OC Register). My mom was the CFO and I started there at 15

The division I co-run at my company was created partially to ship product to market, and partially to ship culture as its other primary product. We treat our culture as something akin to a shippable technology product, complete with user st

Do you disagree that they have abandoned their native Mac client? Personally I don't think the "Discover" tab is worth its real estate in the menu.

The sad part of this is that Twitter was going in this direction: http://blog.twitter.com/2010/05/twitter-platform.html I don't think the reaction would be nearly as bad if Twitter was better at making clients for their own service. They

I run a least six miles every day to force myself away from computers, phones and everything else. It's calming.

You do realize the trade groups (riaa, mpaa) exist to prevent collusion? Aka mafioso tactics? Not saying the represent a valid continual business model (currently, we can hope for evolution) but lets leave the hyperbole at the door.

Maybe they should have done this in 2001 when the classified market collapsed and newsprint prices skyrocketed? Disclosure: I worked at a metro daily (the orange county register) as their first webmaster from 1994-2001. I was there for the

Reminds me of SoundExchange, ASCAP, BMI and Sesac and other PRO's. "Not our fault if you don't claim the money we collected on your behalf!"

Ping was a concession to the labels who asked for an alternative to MySpace with a revenue model. It was never given much attention by Apple internally, nor was it a source of "pride" for anyone really. I remember when it was first introduc

Shouldn't Yahoo focus on the products they are neglecting (i.e., Flickr) rather than introduce more products to then neglect?
