Musicnet Fails to Impress Customers
mcwop writes "A Wall Street Journal story carried on MSNBC chronicles MusicNet's failure as a service before it even gets started. The story contains some funny quotes such as: 'The first offering was too clunky and too consumer unfriendly to hold much hope for its success, says Richard Parsons, AOL Time Warner's incoming chief executive. So we are going to go back, and we will come out with a 2.0 product which will be more consumer friendly, easy to use. ... This is a business of trial and error.' Any consumer could have informed the music titans that their business plan was flawed. Unfortunately, version 2.0 won't be any better unless the music industry is willing to take some risks. One of the more interesting aspects to the story is how the major music companies could hardly be present in the same room for fear that antitrust laws may be broken." A good business-oriented review of Musicnet's operations. With the artists making a quarter-cent per downloaded song, they're probably just as happy to see it fail.
You do not understand. The pushing off is done because of the widening. If it weren't for the widening, there would be no pushing off. The widening results in the pushing off. The pushing off is caused by the widening; the widening causes the pushing off.
On Geekizoid, I delete shit that just widens the page, but here on Slashdot I can't do that (yet), so I have to push it off.
To NOT posting that crap anymore?
I offered Klerck a truce: I gave him the opportunity to leave Trolltalk unwidened, and in return, I would stop pushing off his wideness (because there would be no wideness to push off).
Klerck refused, and proved himself to be a coward with no honor.
The only option left is MAD: Mutually Assured Destruction.
At first it was just business... this time it's personal. Wideness must be destroyed wherever it appears, no matter how many Trolltalks have to be rendered useless in the process. It's already useless wide, pushing the wideness off actually makes it LESS useless when it comes to new content. Yes, pushing makes it harder to find old content, but the old content has already been contaminated by the wideness, and thus should be ignored.
Remember when we could actually READ trolltalk?
Yes, it was before Klerck!
Fucking loosers.
Loosers? That sounds like something I would say. Fawking mooron!
