rant
Disappointed with ePN
I had really high hopes for eBay’s separation from Commission Junction. For one, it’s usually always better to communicate directly, without a middle man. And that’s all CJ was, a middle man in our way, preventing us from getting our reporting on time. Or so we thought.
In my mind, perhaps I built up the changeover [...]
WTF is myspace doing?
Was just reading about MySpace’s revenue woes on gawker and I was just amazed. Apparently their plan is
an ad network which lets his salespeople sell ads all over the Web, not just on MySpace and other News Corp. sites.The idea is to take what MySpace has learned about its own users and share it with [...]
Watch the Chicago - Washington Game Without NFL Network
I hate the NFL network. Or rather, I hate my cable company. Or rather, whichever is responsible for there being NFL football on and me not being able to watch it. Last week it was the epic NFC matchup between the Cowboys and the Packers we were locked out of, now its the emotional conflict [...]
Bronfman’s Epiphany an Insult
Last week digg had an article entitled “Warner Music chief has epiphany, praises Apple”, which linked to this story on AppleInsider which “borrowed” from this MacUser article. My oh my what have the apple fanboys brought us now?
In the article(s), Bronfman Jr. is quoted as saying:
“We used to fool ourselves,’ he said. “We used to [...]
People DO get arrested for linking to stuff on the internet
Popular TV streaming site TV Links has been shut down and the owner arrested. I won’t link to it here because someone has put up a typical domain parking page for the clueless traffic. Keep in mind this guy, who lives in the UK, wasn’t hosting any copyrighted content. He wasn’t stealing anything. He LINKED [...]
T-Mobile.. *sigh*
So I have been with T-Mobile for about 2 years, and today i got really fed up with them and since this is my only platform to vent here I go. I used to have the Sidekick 3, and the sidekick plan from T-Mobile is $19.99 with unlimited messaging, browsing, email, etc. I kicked that [...]
CNN+Reuters+NPD = misinformation
That is actually a generous noun, maybe it should be CNN+Reuters+NPD = RIAA propoganda. CNN.com published a Reuters story titled Illegal downloads grow despite lawsuits with the slug underneath reading “The music industry has started winning lawsuits in the last few years, but the number people downloading illegal music continues to slowly increase.”
Ahem. BULLSHIT! To [...]
RIAA Mafiaa at it Again.. DJ Drama ARRESTED for Making MIXTAPES
From the NYTimes:
In the world of hip-hop few music executives have more influence than DJ Drama. His “Gangsta Grillz†compilations have helped define this decade’s Southern rap explosion. He has been instrumental in the careers of rappers like Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne. He appears on the cover of the March issue of the hip-hop [...]
Why does Digg’s search suck so bad?
Digg.com is an insanely popular website. They have tons of cash. They obviously have a special relationship with Google, the kind you get when you push 20M+ pageviews a month. The fact that their AdSense is not normal and is customized for their site confirms this. I love Digg, and I read it every day. [...]
Tower Records -> Out of business
The tower records by my house is going out of business… To me it’s shocking that it still even exists anywhere. You can duplicate the entire Tower Records store in a kiosk at this point. Have digital catalogs that people can access through touch screens, and have production facilities inside the kiosk that burns on [...]
