The Future of the CD

Murdock037 writes "Nice read at the New York Times (free reg. req.) on the CD, and how it's getting crowded out of the marketplace by gaming and DVDs-- the basic conclusion is that music executives aren't rewarded for rocking the boat, and they wouldn't know how to do it if they were. (And included is a flabbergasting claim from RIAA head Hillary Rosen that only 3 percent of consumers polled are buying less music because prices are too high-- of course, you can come up with a statistic for anything, as 72.5% of all people know.)"

  1. To all smokers... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    A very special message to the tobacco smoking members of the Slashdot community:

    FUCK YOU, COCKSUCKERS! Better watch where you light that stinky fucking thing, because if you happen to light it in my vicinity I'm liable to up and kick the living shit out of you for being an ignorant motherfucker.

    Smokers deserve to DIE! Burn in hell, you stupid pollution generating chemical dependant ass-fucking motherfucking cocksuckers!

    (I console myself when I reflect about the WTC attacks of September 11th: At least several hundreds of ASSHOLE smokers were incinerated into smoke, just like the second hand smoke they had foisted on others).

  2. Kreskin and "Hypno Duck" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What do you get when you cross Kreskin the magician with an insurance-peddling duck? "Hypno Duck" -- The latest AFLAC commercial. This spot received the highest consumer recall score for television ads in the bi-weekly Intermedia consumer survey. Our congratulations to Kreskin, star of AFLAC. Many will recall the Amazing Kreskin as being the omniscient seer who correctly predicted the death of *BSD.
