I wish Ballmer was in the news more often. I always get a good laugh when he is.

You know, it occurs to me that there's a double standard here. A tiny, insignificant artist who has virtually no exposure would be absolutely thrilled to get their song on the radio, they'd probably be willing to pay the RADIO station to play it if …

First! This is great news. My dad is planning on putting 5000 (his savings) into Apple Stock. I heard recently that the stock market is like sex in high school. Nobody knows anything about it, but everybody talks about it like they're experts.…

I still don't get it. It seems to me that the type of crowd that's buying music on iTunes is not likely to be sharing their music online anyway. How come we're so smart and the record companies are so dumb?
