I too have paid for spotify for a few years now. It's great but it doesn't interface with Siri like iTunes Radio does. Once Apple allows me to tell Siri to play "x" song or playlist I will no longer use Spotify. I strea

This seems ridiculous, yet and maybe unintentionally smart too. As it makes for a good story press outlets will probably pick up and write about. It's semi-similar to the Flappy Bird's creator decision to remove it from the app s

Only 2 billion and WhatsApp goes for 18 billion? Im not sure of how wide a net Minecraft has globally, but based on every kid you know (U.S.) who spends hours on it, it has to be worth more then 2 billion. Especially, when compared to the

I miss Aereo and the ability to watch live local broadcast channels on my Mac Mini. Copyright recently has killed a few venues online where I was paying to watch their content. I'd still pay them directly for an Aereo service if they

It's a work as many hours as I like and need to and they don't own or have rights to my start-up companies nor can later profit from them. I made it clear to them I am working towards raising money for my start-up and will be able

Bootstrapping my start-ups while working 9 to 5 on site consulting jobs has proved frustrating! All those who brought me on knew explicitly of my start-ups and yet my consulting gigs never lasted more then a year. Which has been frustratin

Is there a builtwithangular.com site yet? If not that might be a good ship to jump on now, as it's the buzzword for tech recruiters. Most of whom have no clue what it is.

Oh I live on the east coast and experienced this from DC to Baltimore to Philadelphia to New York. Again, not everyone in the "scene," is a dBag, it's just jarring to meet and encounter a large percentage of them! It makes st

Ageism, sexism, racism, you don't look like me/model(ism) I would say runs rampant in many industries that are fueled by egos and trying to out do each other. I have had more negative experiences dealing with tech douchebags at me

Cool, how about 2 or more people listening to the same audio in sync on their different Internet devices, Spotify? Together creating a stereo system with friends & or those in the crowd around them. Anyone else interested in such a feat

The solution above would suit my needs and work for where I live. It most likely wouldn't be able to scale to cable company levels, but it would be a great small to mid-size local business. One that could be replicated in cities acros

Uggh that really kills innovation and our web app that turns an audience & their devices into a huge stereo system all via a URL. Why force an audience to download your app when you can just say, "Hey everybody go to speakerblast.c

Something potentially even worse for GrooveShark is it seems Apple changed how audio is handled in Safari in iOS8. Web apps in iOS8 that play audio no longer play audio in the background. Once you close Safari audio stops playing. Also and

I'm surprised Pandora, Spotify, Rdio and the others have started their own labels. Follow the Netflix model of owning and distributing the content. In the long run this would cut down the power of the current labels and in turn increas

Why is this being downvoted? This is not a patent troll, rather it's a company still in business who is struggling. Are they supposed to just shut down and fail and give up their IP because of it? In start-ups your either lucky or unl

Good on you! You were lucky to the point of creating something that you got the rich to back you and lucky that people used your product. For the unlucky their is the patent system in which can be used to get ones fair share!
