as the AC #6 comment says, the quality will be horrendous for music. For talk shows, it makes sense. However, most cellphone speakers don't have any bass (they aren't intended to - they're intended for voice listening, after all) and the quality is a bit lower bitrate than people can listen to on internet radio.
so it "works", it's just horrendously lower than radio quality.
from what I have seen on transcripts so far they have presented plenty of non-fair use arguments. Don't assume this is just fish in a barrel, lawsuit's over. They already had mediasentry admit they have no evidence under oath so unless the jury is idiotic, RIAA has nothing.
Mike, somewhere along the lines more than just credit card companies have thought "patent pending" is a great marketing term. I work for an engineering company and all day I get people proposing ideas to me about how they have the next big thing and it's patent pending and it's usually something blissfully obvious (and marginally changed). Example: the steel girders used to hold up buildings are nothing new. Yet all the time we get people wanting to have new ones approved. Yes, *new ones*, not that anyone else has tried some different varying percentage of metals together before. Anywhere where the percent is between 0 and 100 is something that has been done, whether you add something nonmetallic as well or not.
Someone should go in public, and record the hell out of this individual. Dedicate a group of 5-10 people to record his/her every movement and watch how much she enjoys it.
People always rationalize it because they externalize it like "it's not me, it's for the bad folks".
all this stuff creates is hoarding, which is a normal biological feature in us creatures. However, what it really is, is anti-society. People prefer to give to themselves rather than give to others in the form of sharing their works.
Not only is this a bad idea but it's totally going to water down the effectiveness of the ads. You are dead on that Hulu cut them real short, and Hulu's are what is currently acceptable to society (and that will probably drift down over the years too).
It's bad enough companies suck up by trying to get their brands snuck into tv shows and movies, we don't need it shoved down our throats more by reinforcing tv-style advertising from the 50's.
It's just a bad exec call as usual. We seem to get a lot of those in the last 25 years.
Yup. If we didn't have google news we simply wouldn't know about a ton of news that is easily searched by them/from them/to them.
So the concept of "what can you make from free?" = a business. I guess people don't understand that many industries can be expanded through efficiencies like this. I suspect that more news is watched since google began aggregating than before that, for certain. Likewise pre-internet and pre-tv and pre-radio.
apple can't stop the pre if the pre folks truly get determined. Example: itunes apps on android.
Maybe soon people will realize that apple is a straight up crap company that has been shoveling turds on a plate for years. They stand for neither quality nor competitiveness. all they have is an iphone with horribly locked exclusivity that people are dumb enough to yuck up.
The days of apple being the predominant "movie quality" os/software/etc are long gone.
You could pay $3000 for an apple. Or pay $1200 as a bundle. Or pay $900 and build it yourself. etc.
the more he does this, the worse it looks for Carnes and the better for the piratebay cause. It's so far backwards that it should drive plenty of people to donate to the pirate party hopefully.
good write Mike. I don't get why they have an issue with the fact that sometimes the blogs copy the press and plenty of times the press copies the blogs.
Easy example: Iran coverage was mostly from individuals and tweets, fark gave it huge coverage, and then later on the press finally started actually covering it.
The end result was that the price fixing bar was simply lowered. It still exists, and it's $9.99 now. Apple probably has it in an exclusive agreement, I'd bet money.
So of course, the 5$ reality of what a consumer would be happy to shell out, is exactly what the albums don't want. What's another 5$ for your margin when it costs you 0? Answer: a whole lot of executive pocket lining.
I kind of agree, that Pandora now has a way to demonstrate damages by the agreement they have signed. They have a hard copy to use if this goes to court, none of that "they verbally offered me x" crud.
meanwhile, it's still a bit of a backwards approach. They could always have done this WAY BEFORE having ever signed a contract instead, but I guess they like going bankrupt.
wow, what a straw man. The price of all things is fated to become free at some point or another. We're just hurrying it up because businesses are deliberately avoiding it. Lawsuits for filesharing are easy examples of that.
The real problem is what Mike's article is about: corporate interests are being represented but the public interest is not.
This is too idiotically written to be written from a 15 year old. Honestly, a 15 year old INTERN at Morgan Stanley? Not many people intern at 15, let alone at wealth management company. Clearly there's some fact checking missing here. I bet it was probably someone in a random department who asked their kid to write it for them, as the language is horrible in addition to everything being completely generalized and inaccurate.
google has huge enterprise services that they offer, ala how people integrate a google search in their enterprise's homepage, how google does sites, etc.
Not everything they do is free, the things a consumer can do are free.
