Either that or they'll just be more careful about their lifeguard staffing so they don't have to spend that money. How long could you staff lifeguard(s) compared to installing that system and maintaining it?
So let's say that Jobs told them to "go to hell." I doubt all the record companies would back out instantaneously, one would have to lead the way more than likely. So the first one leaves.
It's such a short time that very little changes and the others back out, as they had all pledged they would do.
Jobs, with his brilliant marketing, begins to appeal to the radio by screening songs from new bands that only go through them and hand-picking songs from bands before they have a chance to catch a major label. He offers their songs to the radio stations, and the songs are spread.
People probably won't forget about those big labels anytime soon, as they still have a lot of weight to be thrown around and have contracts with talent that will last them quite some time, but new talent becomes more and more scarce for them, as many rush to post songs on iTunes.
So that leaves the tours . . . the major labels still have their hand in that, and that's where the artist makes it big. I used to be thrilled with Napster doing various tours, they had a very good thing going there and I really felt they were giving back to artists what their software had taken from them, and perhaps gave them more. Maybe Jobs can gather those who organized all this for Napster and eventually edge the labels out completely.
Wow, this is an old story. It was on Engadget back in March and in the local paper in May. I wonder how many times the story was rejected before they finally posted this . . .
Yes, but notice that attempt was struck down. It wasn't until WWI that they actually enacted it, and that was only for one whole year. This happened again for WWII, all just to conserve energy. Finally in 1966 it was pulled together by the Uniform Time Act because there was no reasoning behind who was observing it and who wasn't, each locality decided for itself whether or not it would observe DST. After that act passed, everybody had to observe it. Basically it wasn't a serious thing until 1966.
Am I the only one that bothered looking at what was running in the systray? It bothers me to find worthless stuff here. Hopefully the magnifying glass is the return of Office's findfast that I can get rid of. Also notice that there's a battery, indicating that this person has it on a laptop, not sure if that's overly interesting or not, but that appears to be why the screenshots ended (notice the battery ran low by the last shot). Now what is the horizontal rectangle with the two circles? And finally, oh no I have to deal with the stupid windows security center again.
I understand at one point in time that Patents and Copyrights made sense to some extent, but in this day and age we've made it to a point where, naturally, we are at a point in our intellectual evolution where we obviously should be moving past these petty non-tangible properties. It is very obvious that we have come to this point, the mere fact that they are having such a terribly hard time controlling them is evidence in its self. It's so sad that people are trying so terribly hard to hang on to the past. It really makes me wonder how much longer all of this will continue.
Well that I would never expect. We live in a capitalistic state and therefore you should expect to pay for anything that helps you in any profession simply because, in this country, everybody is out to make a buck.

Actually, it would be very interesting if Apple bought Pixar.
Just wait until they start taxing everything they approve in order to pay for the personnel it takes to approve them!

Because. Once Google has monopolized all our information, they will in essence become the internet. Funded of course by AdSense.

I don't care. As long as they have "Safe Mode with Life Support" before they start sending us up.

Yup, turns out those parasites are also what made Ant submit this story.
everyone from Microsoft to IBM has a message on their frontpage.
You mean, "Everyone from (A) Apple to (Z) ZDNet has a message on their frontpage."

Google appears to be purchasing dark fiber optic

I think we should call it Darknet. No . . . no , wait maybe that's not so good . . . Shadownet, that sounds better.

Zoom out a fair amount and move the map around, the scale will change slightly. Seems kind of odd.

I'm surprised nobody has brought up the case where the cabbies are now suing the city (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/17/nyregion/17taxi .html?ex=1276660800&en=9dec967b9352b845&ei=5088&pa rtner=rssnyt&emc=rss) due to the fact that NYC cab regulations REQUIRE a certain amount of leg space and there is not a hybrid on the market that meets these standards (and thus they cannot use the medallions until a hybrid vehicle meeting such proportions exists.)
