The title reads "digg for indie music" so yes, I did assume that it was for indie music.

I totally agree. I now believe that all progress in life and society is the result of informative failures. A job that didn't work out or a company that didn't work out are examples of such failures. The country that tries more things f

I think the reality is that most early adopters are now mac users. When releasing something new you need to convert what Seth Godin calls "sneezers," what he calls "laggards" can come later.

You make some great points. But twitter does allow you to control who sees your feeds. That said it's not a standard way to use their service.

Wow. I personally would not want to know. But... If I had the means to fire-hose money at researching this problem the way he does, I would want to know. Something really good could come of this. I wish him luck...

I just started fooling w/ it and MIA "Paper Planes" is at the top along w/ the FLOBOTS "handlebars." Are either of these guys indy? Could a Rolling Stones song make it on here? If there is no criteria by which you are too big, won't it d

Your branding is at odds w/ your mission statement. High res photos speaks to pro-sumers. Party pics speaks to grainy iphone shots.

This is sad. In my opinion immigrants are the best Americans. They work the hardest and they expect the fewest handouts. In DC the Ethiopian immigrants had the highest rate of employment of any demographic group. At first they work in p

As a 3d hacker this could be really good news. Yes plugins suck. But... Widely adopted plugins do not suck. If enough people use this new plugin it could become "the way" to do 3d on the web. He's providing both chicken and egg in the c

Did he mean to say "Techcruch are full of shit" instead of "Techcrunch is full of shit?" Is there an inside joke I'm missing?

I'm getting sick of the "vote this up if you want ___" mentality. If you want to change the world, start by understanding it well enough to know that you need to convince people outside new media.

This is great news for people who live in places w/ bad signals and great wifi. I've been waiting a while for someone to do this. Hopefully they'll force apple / at&t to follow suit.

He thinks that LA differs from Boston b/c of enforcement??? Has he ever been to either city? Boston is overflowing w/ Irish Catholics and LA is overflowing w/ scantily clad starlets.

I played ice hockey since I could walk until I turned 21. At the end of my senior year in HS I was getting mildly recruited to play in college. I got a bad concussion when a guy but-ended me in the chin w/ his stick. I was out cold but w

Well said. I think a real debate needs to take place about gathering all forms of intelligence by "macro-polling." A traffic cop polls each car with a radar gun looking for speeders. A cop walking the beat polls pedestrians for suspiciou

Both hanssen and Ames came up inconclusive in their polys. But they were able to cleverly explain them away. Coming up inconclusive is easy, passing outright is hard. To get a job at an intel shop you must pass. The problem with Ames and ha

Ok, let's put it this way, would you want the playbook for your favorite football team to be public? You may be a fan, and you may be paying for the team but you'll loose if their secrets become public. The same goes for the intel world.

Another major difference is that unemployment benefits are much better in places like France and Holland and it encourages people to stay unemployed. Though we're not immune from this problem either. I recently met a lady who was, "on fun
