I've read many articles about the pros/cons of all 3 major operating systems and why are they all written by someone who ISN'T the actual USUAL end user?
"I've used every operating system on the planet, programmed for God HIMSELF, and built multi-billion dollar income vomitting websites" -cut the crap.
"Brutal Honesty" (which this article isn't) should be dished out by guys like myself who aren't so stupid we can't do anything but point-and-click.
Honesty my ass. The honest truth is all 3 blow chunks. OS X is pretty but dumbed down, XP is great but full of holes, and Linux is just too damned hard to use.
Want Linux to be more than a geek toy? Want OS X to be a big hitter? Want Windows to bite the dust?
LISTEN TO THE USUAL, NORMAL JOE USER!
This post can come off bitter and mean, but I am just so damned tired of being strapped to an operating system that only halfass performs. I'm tired of being afraid of checking my bank account online for fear of who else is doing it.
This is the perfect audience to voice my concerns./end rant.
Offering both services won't increase sales, it will increase the validity of both services.
If folks don't like the songs they won't buy them.
The record industry is fighting something they agreed to in the first place. They're fighting themselves which is why it's blowing up in their faces.
Single, album, what-have-you..
I remember back in the 80's when tapes were used and there was a b-side. The single was purchased but there was a sample of the artists other work. Rarely is that true today. It's the song and a remix -of- the song. Dance, "featuring", etc. The b-side would often provve if the artist was more than "one hit"; That can't be done now because most -aren't- more than.
Record industries (don't lack their intelligence) -know- this.
That fact has been bypassed so much.
They are being greedy as a whole but because they know they don't have actual talent.
The record industry is aware that most of todays "artists" aren't really artists; There are no more Fleetwood Macs or Rolling stones or Carole King's.
Albums aren't art anymore. They aren't actual pieces of time, history, what-have-you. There's usually 2 or 3 "hits" on one cd and the rest are fillers. The last album that was a complete and whole statement was "Jagged Little Pill" (which is why it was so large) and that was what? Early 90s?
You're being sold an act -not- an artist.
They're a dying industry with dying acts churing out the same babble-cock-bull and for one to assume it's "all about greed"....at this point is totally correct. They shot themselves in the foot by trying to pass off crap as fantastic, know -we- know only 2ish songs are decent and only want those.
