I guess Lebron didnt have his wish come true of becoming the 1st Billion dollar athlete. But he's got many more years to come. Im sure he will surpass that number. As it is whatever his new contract is after this season, and whereever it

I find it funny that the author of this blog did not include his own school, The University of Cincinnati, at which he is the Associate Dean of faculty at their school of law. As if Cincinnati would be on the list of "25 Most Safe Colleges

Clearly you dont know. Somehow "ErrantX" was able to get the jist. But you seem to have missed it. Regardless of what kind of company it is really. New, old, startup, whatever. The extremely simple point here is that feuding destroys w

I agree. A complete waste of money if you ask me. An expensive, fake gesture to seem as if they are actually trying to educate the youth, instead of simply complianing about not getting their cut as they always do. And at the same time,

"thedark", is the username of the previous poster. Not an actual reference to anything regarding this post itself. Looks like you got the wrong message. The reason for low sales outside major labels, is the fact that there are no outlets

Unfortunately, no doubt these numbers do not count non-label/unsigned record sales as "thedark" mentioned. This is due to the fact that according to major labels and the FCC, these numbers don't count, simply because they don't receive a c

The article talks about fueding between company founders, stright from Paul Graham. Read the previous post. That link is just a reference if you want to check out the article.

YC stresses the importance of company founders having a positive working relationship, and in his INC magazine interview, Paul Graham himself spoke on his previous dealings with YC startups where company founders fueded and didnt get along.

The best way is to actually create jobs (i.e., provide earning opportunities for the consumer), via your product or service. This helps to develop additional sales in the long-term from those earnings, as well as the all important "brand l

In response to "Learn to Relish the Door Slam", a setback is a setup for a comeback. Keep plugging at your entreprenurial dreams, and you will get there. Use those door slams as a learning experience. Each time someone says NO, implement

Scratch the fact that your company is smaller and has an even smaller budget. Focus on solving a problem and creating something that people want, in the way that they want it. And success will come. Anyone and any company can conpete if

I second that notion. There's nothing like working for yourself, and being able to create something special to present to the world in your own way. And watch is grow and succeed. I love startup business and enjoy being a founder. Its m

I was leaning towards Facebook, but the third from last Twitter pic showed someone's desk with Sushi on it. I'm sold. A creative working culture of sushi eaters and bike riders. My kind of people. Facebook looks a bit more flashy, but t

Points taken. Hopefully we can come up with a better formula in the future. The game needs change, and iTunes needs to finally have a viable competitor. Its been great debated with you on here on this topic. By the way, what do you do?

Exactly. Thanks for proving my point. Clearly the playing field is not level. The only reason that "Grizzly Bear" is not as popular as Maroon 5, is because they dont have the outlet (iTunes or anybody else) in which to present themselves

Seriously? It took an entire year to figure out how Twitter can generate revenue? And what they come up with is an Analytics Dashboard? Get out of here with that. If that's all they were going to do, they could have just copied TweetDec

Like Steven Finch said, "Most people im sure would probably agree that Apple’s iTunes software isnt a lightweight application. I was wanting to put together a great list of free alternatives to iTunes that are actually worth checking out."

Really? They're promoting indie artists as much as they are the major label artists? That news to me. Especially when the company has an application process for indie artists that is not required of major label artists. And most of them

And in comparison to the major label artists such as U2, Kanye West, and Amy Winehouse, how much do you think those indie artists from that free 20 pack are actually earning? Not much. The guidelines are not the same for all musicians.

Apple has been forcefeeding music lovers for years, but have never been able to give any true nourishment to the unsigned independent musician. Its like eating candy, fried foods, bacon, and soda for the rest of your life. Sounds fun on t

That's the problem. Some indie artits may do this, but not nearly enough, due to Apple's approval process. Most actually are refused as you mentioned, and this is why itunes is not a viable option for unsigned musicians, as many sites are

You can be the greatest web programmer in the world, but if you cannot develop and articulate the ideas that are in your head, you have nothing. Thats what I learned among other things when getting my MBA. I learned how to think in the te

I am in the same situation, but I honestly believe that my startup is more scalable than the current YC company, and offers a greater service to the consumer. I solves an issue that has not yet been properly addressed in the industry. And
