I ran a ringtone startup back in 2000 - 2004. ASCAP threatened us more than once. They claimed that someone who purchased a ringtone from us would then go ahead and make a public performance every time their phone rang, and thus, we were ob

I agree the secret, sinister stuff is nonsense, BUT I think there are legitimate privacy concerns for citizens. The Presidential Records Act is being, appropriately I believe, extended to social media. The average citizen probably had no

Not getting political, but it always struck me as absurd when: Perino says she "could not rule out" that as many as 5 million emails are missing but stressed the White House does not know the extent of what maybe lost. Twenty-two current W

The U6 calculations are frightening enough. What's even worse is that this infographic was done a mere 8 months ago. U3 ('official rate') jumped from 7.2% to 9.6% since January. Check out this infographic via Calculated Risk to see how bad

interesting essay, but you could have made the exact same argument in the early years of the industrial revolution...as one example. 'The real problem with the economy is that it doesn't need you anymore' could have been said, and probably

How can you write an article called 'Amazon’s growth is shaking up retail' without discussing, at all (even mentioning), how Amazon has been moving more and more to becoming a platform for other people to sell goods

Fair enough, but EW ( http://popwatch.ew.com/2007/06/27/50-cent-lip-syn/ ) and Stereo Gum ( http://stereogum.com/archives/video/formula-50-goes-ashlee-s... ) both cited them in this case, so I figured I would post the source, not other blog
