I meant to say that's about the price it needs to be to get people buying music again. It's gotta be well within the impulse buy range.

I don't know about abolishing copyright but charging $10 for a digital album is ridiculous. A buck for 10 songs sounds about right to me. You can't make any money playing live though, unless you're in Pearl Jam you're b

Man I took the ability to follow people based on musical tastes for granted - I spent so much time looking for people all over the world who were listening to interesting stuff and ever morning I download a few albums I found on the Trendin

There is no way people are going to pay for individual articles, what might work though is letting people customize what kind of ads they see. For example I want to see car ads, movie trailers, new gadgets and I want to see what's on s

Indeed.com says most Angular jobs in Florida advertise $60,000 to $80,000 and a lot of those are actually back end jobs because the person who wrote the ad doesn't know what they're talking about

I'd like to know if their ads are really successful at creating new customers or if Facebook users are like my Grandma and just click everything.

We might see the creation of syndicates where you pay $10 a month for access to Collection of Sites A and $5 for Collection of Sites B, etc. Maybe A will have major newspapers as members and B will have most small town papers, and C will ha

Alan Moore pops up every so often just to bum everybody out. Superheroes are a fun, stupid and occasionally brilliant genre. They're the Westerns of the 21st century. Lighten up Al.

Tim Cook's Apple loves big margins, he's a bean counter not an idea man. And we know companies run by bean counters always do fantastically well over the long haul.

Rdio is the only one of these things doing it right and they seem to be doing it by accident. The trick is to follow people you don't know on Rdio, find a weird album you like, see who listened to it and if they have good taste in mu

Last week /r/all/rising was mostly swastkas and dick pics with most of them going to a site called slimgur which they then supposedly shadow blocked.

Sounds like Readability was blocking all ads and then saying "come find us so we can pay you, even though we never told you we were doing this, oops too late". Plus since then there's been the invention of these Taboola and O

The new thing they're trying is what you could call "gross-bait" ads, one gem that comes to mind is the girl's legs with indentations in them and white things coming out. I'm not even sure they're selling anyth

It's hilarious how these guys have spent billions looking for the lost city of targeted advertising and all they've done is invent new ways of scaring away customers. How about telling us what's on sale at nearby grocery or h

Yeah programmers can be delicate. Maybe they used up all the sturdy folks they could find. "Dammit Boz that's the third dev you've broken this week! This time it's coming out of your salary!"

Maybe this is a low blow but if there's one place that needs a little less kindness and a lot more truth it's the Facebook News Feed. It's real nice that they only show you news they think you'll like but it seems prett

So music really HAS gotten shittier since I was in high school. But seriously, using the "Billboard Hot 100" is pretty unscientific, that list says more about mass media than it does about musical styles. For example in the early
