Too Soon?

Well, the iPhone 4S sales are up due to an increase in hipster desire. You know, because Steve Jobs is so underground.

unemployment

Because I have ran into, twice today, people that seem to think the unemployment was cause by Obama, here is this:


As a side note, look at the highest point, in 1982..who was president then, I can't recall.

RIP Steve Jobs.

To the Moon

I wonder what it would cost to put something on the moon. Nothing that needs to return, just literal dropping stuff on the moon. How Would I find out that cost?

Harry Potter

I just found out Rowling won't release her books in ebook format.

hahaha. What a maroon.

A good story is a good story. Is King Lear less of a story when reading it off a printing press instead of scribed? Is music only good live?

Paper books are a wast for a great many reasons. They need to be phased out. Of course she is deluding herself. In 10 years when most person books are in electronic format, she will have a sudden change of heart. Probably along the lines that she doesn't want to deprive the current generation of her works.

There are people who love books, and there are people who love good stories. They are not necessarily the same person. You can tell the difference by how the describe their reading habits. If they mention the sheer number of books in their collect, reading is just an excuse for them to collect books.

Of course, the other side of this ugly coin is copyright lengths; which are far too long for a healthy and vibrant culture.

Dear Penguin Publishing,

You are failing to learn the lessons of previous industry impacted by the new digital life.

People want to pay less, not more then the non digital equivalent.

I can get a song for 99 cents and listen to it with equal enjoyment many, many time. Almost all books don't warrant a separate reading.

A book is often a bigger endeavor, so I will pay up to 5 dollars for an eBook. In my case it's the kindle but that applies to future readers as well.

Five Dollars, Max.

Don't forget who you are competing with. It's not eBooks v paper books. It's you're current business model vs Used books, libraries and, yes, copyright infringer.
