It's really nice to see online community evolving out of threaded discussion boards. The paradigm from Invision et al seems so stale lately. That being said, I wish all these great new tools and systems had a white label option.

A NeXTStation was my first entry to the Internet in 1994 at UCI. God that was a great machine. That and Irix were my first forays into the net and Unix incidentally.

My son (2.5) has quit with books at his bed time and insists on iPad books ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-fantastic-flying-books/id... ) and videos (mostly Pixar shorts). We also sometimes compose a Garageband track together. The firs

lsof comes in handy to match pid to socket and thus things like apache proc to running MySQL process.

But imagine if the product teams were united.

YouTube and Google Music are separate product teams. Google Music is run through Android. Of all the bone headed product decisions made at Google, the fact that Android owns Google Music makes me say "WHY?????" Its not an RIAA limit (and so

Because of the tuesday-tuesday nature of the record business, working at a label necessitated this. Monday->Engineering maintenance for records. Lots of email blasts and such, site maintenance. Tuesday - Release day, also radio promo me

Testing and development cost so much because it had to work on 60 phone models and in most cases required rewrites and compiles from device to device. This is also the reason most efforts on "artist apps" are for iOS. Fragmentation hurts!

Not much to tell. The cost was because of testing, but by the time the app actually ran, the band wasn't interested anymore and people's interest in handset games was waning.

Pretty funny how the ones that didn't hit big are the ones that are still hard to explain in 10 seconds. Attention economy and semantic web.

Wouldn't it be nice if the people behind the things we loved were as pure and perfect as our love for the products they created? It doesn't happen. I ended up great friends with someone who created a body of work I hold dear. He isn't perfe

My consolation with my GoogleTV is that I didn't pay for it, and its transparent enough in terms of day to day use of the TV where I don't usually see it, and I'm too lazy to disconnect it. Our one and only use of it has been to rent conten

EMI has been a shell of its former self for years though. No real new signings, and only Coldplay. They had a progressive streak when they hired some digital natives, but they left out of frustration quickly.

No, ADA also ships to indie retail world wide, manages relationships with about 70 DSP's, plus the rights of those relationships (i.e., some get the full record, some have to bundle, some only take AIFF files, etc). TuneCore or The Orchard

Piracy is actually lower now on the list of how people get music for free. Number 1 is YouTube. Ad supported streaming and radio are also up there. Piracy has been falling as a primary mover of free music for quite a while now. The shifting

I would like to see the quantified evidence of an Internet band making it through full ascension without ever touching one of the big 4/3. It is REALLY hard to find. It's a great time to be a recording artist and be self sufficient. If you

This is a common argument among those that have never worked at or with a label. Matador for instance is distributed by ADA, who, guess what, is owned by Warner Music Group. The music business is much, much more complicated and convoluted t
