From what I remember of the talk he was saying that when musicians had royalties at least there was some kind of income in the backdrop so musicians didn't have to literally 'sing for every supper'. He then paralleled that wi

Jaron Lanier has a great contrarian view of this where he points out that he went on a research project to find musicians that became independently wealthy in the 'internet age' and that he basically couldn't find any. The mo

I look at sarcasm and ridicule as mechanisms to deal with feelings of powerlessness. Jon Stewert and Stephen Colbert used them as 'weapons' on their own audiences to build their own careers and to garner advertising revenue for th

I would like to see a new recruiting trend where recruiters double as pseudo career mentors ( hence freely consulting people who are skilled but don't know where they fit in. To fulfill this role these people would probably have to be

I didn't bother to check the docs as I didn't think this would be a feature. I assumed it would require manually typing out the captions. Problem solved :) *Edit Problem not solved. It works so poorly that I am better off just typ
