SpamSandwich said: Large mergers should not be blocked. This myth about preventing monopolies is simply nonsense. Monopolies happen when there is a LACK of competition and too much regulation created to favor Washington connected players, not…

Each unique use of a composition or recording requires permission. That's just a fact of copyright law. The use of sampling has complicated things even more, because a snippet here, and a loop there, all have to be cleared. In the instance of "Good …

I'm a single guy and I like to watch good movies with interesting content. So that right there makes a lot of Hollywood movies a firm "no thanks." I would pay to watch first-run films at home, even $50. But they'd better know right now: I'm going to…

A virtual debit card inside Apple Pay is a good solution for someone who doesn't have a relationship with a traditional bank. Those people have so far been forced to use cash (which is a good thing, as when it's gone, it's gone). However, those peop…

Apple routers never allowed for quality of service management, i.e., limiting bandwidth by SSID. Because of that, they were never used outside of the home, or in tightly managed workplaces where they were kept independent of more secure wireless net…

It's all about resale value, people. A phone that works on both GSM and CDMA carriers have the most value. So don't buy the version specific to AT&T/T-Mobile. The Verizon version works on all the major carriers and MVNO's throughout North Americ…

jume said: There is also on BIG BIG flaw to all the popular streaming music services. They simply miss out on the concept of Music Labels. This would be a killer function to Apple Music. I don't want to subscribe to the artist, but I would di…

mcfrazieriv said: I will agree to disagree with this. No matter how many times I press the "dislike" button on a song, Apple creates a weekly mix starting with that damn song ... and it gets thrown into every single suggestion known to man. …

sirdir said: Well for me, they can't even get my home address right. They just don't recognise it. And I haven't found a way yet like 'siri, set my current position as my home address'... just doesn't work. Apple thinks I live in the nearest …

A better idea would have been a "create your own bundle" idea ... which was probably suggested, and roundly rejected, with maniacal laughter. tsk tsk

What Lucian Grainge is fuming about is majors like Universal losing established artists to Apple, Spotify etc. What musicians will do is use major record labels to get exposure, build an audience beyond their base, then at the end of the contract, j…
