Right now Google would have to offer at least 2 different handsets (GSM/CDMA) and would need to strike a deal with Verizon/Sprint Curious if that becomes a non-issue once Verizon rolls out 4G next year? Sprint is the only provider not beh

A large portion of revenues for social games/worlds (Zynga, Playdom, Second Life, IMVU, etc) are gotten from users so passionate about the game they pay directly for credits - that is as clean as it gets and a solid revenue stream even

Music professionals have also noticed how easy it is to sample their work in the iTunes Store, and argue that these samples count as public performances. They should test out that theory in public: Offer a concert where they only play 30

I would be surprised if Arrington wants to continue with TechCrunch50...he seems to have no regard for entrepreneurs. Explains why he wasn't at the TC50 awards... Case in point: During this video (see link below) Arrington was extremely

I hear where you're coming from, and in all likelihood you're probably right - but I couldn't resist ;) However, upvotes and insightful commentary are actions (in aggregate) that would encourage quality articles to rise above a so-so articl

This is what's scary: women still face a very thick glass ceiling in business (not men - the flip scenario comparisons are baseless and for the most part insulting to women, including those who smoke). More importantly, is it OK that women
