My friend say that when he downloads, he ends up getting songs he wouldnt buy in the first place. He also feels that many of the songs inspire him to either buy from iTunes or Amazon.
Although, he prefers to buy used because he thinks that the music industry has bigger issues than online file trading - such as controlled product marketing (marketing what it thinks is good music), the recent recession, an increase of used music sales, and an overall poor quality of the bands the music industry choose to promote.
Ultimately these guys are the middle men. THey jack up the price for the interest of the middle men, not the artist.
Perfect examples are the cost of the CD compared to the LP - and the forth coming increase of iTunes song prices.
This an idea I originally had for highschool, but this could work for you. Use the class room to teach students how to solve the it issues of the campus. So in effect, you are giving them a temporary job, job experience, and a skill set.
As for marketing - you will probably have to get stats from the US gov to help you boost recruitment. Also advertise on sites like Dice.com for classes, certificates and credentials.
If you arent doing certifications already, you can get IT proffessionals to enroll by offering the training they need for their current jobs.
You have to pick the one that is the accepted the widest. Right now, it seems like iTunes+iPod is the winner. MS+WMA seems like it has the larger possible usier install base. However, the MS+WMA soolution is not available to all OSes not all MS OSes. iTunes_iPod has the truest possible largest possible user base and the their catalog is the biggest (or at one time it was).
That you dont know the difference between evolution and Evolution, Darwinism. If you did, you'd understand that "things evolve" is not the debate.
Too bad you have an uninformed opinion. Also look up the definition of "theory."
There are several critical aspects of Evolution that are just theory such as life coming from a soup of chemicals and species evolving into other species.
Also, watch "From Ape to Man," a show by scientists and anthropologist that states that none of the fossils found to date are in modern man's direct lineage. Leaving open the possibility of divine creation.
Its one thing to believe in science because you follow the Scientific Method. Its another to believe in it because its your faith.
When I read the paper they are asking to teach both ideologies...
Besides, Its not like evolution is proved, its just the the best theory that doesnt include a god.
I am still stunned that evolution has anything to do with this isssue. Seems like Republicans put a lot of money in to space research and military research. Both require a ton of math and science.
True, but the lower licensing fees ultimately made VHS cheaper to the consumer. And ultimately it was the consumer who decided who won the consumer dollar and the market share.
Its quite logical that Beta persists in a specialized niche. Professional versus consumer is all about those details. However, winning the amatuer/consumer market is dependant on supply and demand. A lower price point stimulates demand. And in this case supply was basically a constant since they were protected technologies.
Speilberg proved a very important point with the release of ET - it you make the price acceptable to the consumer, the consumer will purchase more readily. Up until the release of ET videos were mostly in the 40-120.00 range for purchase. (I worked in a video store and I remember Gone With The Wind being 120.00) ETs initial release was in the $15 dollar range. Speilburg proved all the "experts" wrong about pre-recorded video pricing. And with it, he further killed Beta because it was cheaper to produce thousands of copies in VHS. After that, my store stopped carrying Beta all together.
It also proves that the consumer is not always concerned about quality. I think the real decider in this current debate is going to be storage capacity.
And Thats what makes this technology debate unique. We may never see the loser reach the consumer.
Back then the availability of consumer feedback before the technology availablity was scarce. And the only vote the consume had was to buy or not buy. VHS won simply because it was less expensive.
Now, these technologies will be similarly priced and its not going to be economics that is the deciding factor. INfact, it will probably be decided before the consumer ever gets to use the technologies.
all Apple needs to do to verify the scope of this problem is open up a web browser.
The problem with your logic is: satisfied customers dont complain. What you see on the 'net is the same complaint 1000 times. Kinda like when CNN kept showing the same man in Iraq stealing the same vase every 5 minutes for 3 days.
Apple can only go by the complaints they receive.
Besides, being an iPod owner, I would say individual care partially to blame. Delicate things need to be treated delicately.
Just as pathetic as the Democrats in my opinion... Considering the V-chip, the Clipper chip and other technology Gore and Clinton backed, this is just an exetion of prior administrations.
The truth is neither party wants to be smaller otherwise they can't get your money nor control your life. Anyone who thinks any government program will give them more freedom and liberty is a fool.
Liberals want choice without responsibility. Conservatives want no-choice with responsibility.
The Republican party back then was all about ending slavery.
Dont believe the hype. Neither party is about human rights. Both practically extort human rights for voting leverage. The civil war was not about slavery, but rather money. Nothing else. Additionaly Lincoln violated states rights and the constitution.
The only reason any politician was against slavery was to limit the power and gain control over souther industry.

That sends messages over IP to landlines. The FCC is already involved.
Its probably going to look like a crapy letterhead design like the rest of the internet.
Yep - it was Runaround that I was thinking of.
A chapter of I, Robot.
That police can only hold the hard drives and storage media.
is the last time we had a serious pandemic? HYPE. Privacy invasion.
Lame. When apple came into being it had nothing to do with music. Now , 30 years later, music is what the consumers want. Apple didn't steal anything.
I find that its kinda like 6 degrees. Listen to any song and in an hour its playing house music.

Thank God the US didnt giving in.

I mean stem cell research, not cloning.
I didnt think American science was limited to abortions and cloning.
If I had the choice of being dead or killing fish, I'd save myself.
Its not like they will be using the sound needlessly.

I like the use of "pooh" rather than poo.
