Once they start giving the artist's a bigger cut of the prices then I'll start to care. Right now 35% is going towards Apple, and I'm sure EMI is seeing about 70% of each sale. I couldn't care less if EMI and Apple make more money off of their artists and consumers. The whole DRM thing was bound to fail anyways.

Patents are intellectual property, when you are acquired they the buying company looks for and pays for to justify the acquisition. Having strong IP is an asset like any other, even if it doesn't prevent a competitor from entering your space, it just make it harder.

I see valid points on both sides of this issue. However, I think it's definitely worth looking into tech like Slingshot to see what could happen next. Rails has allowed the development of many applications that we would have never seen otherwise, hopefully Slingshot will allow the same thing with desktop apps.

I'm a programmer, but not a "web programmer". I've written code in all kinds of languages in all kinds of styles for all kinds of purposes, but never for the web (beyond basic web stuff). <p>I'm wondering if people have strong opinions on higher level web packages. Here's the field as I see it: <p>- Java + GWT<p>- Pyth...

Interesting. I have much respect for Blake and Joe's efforts with Parakey, so my question revolves around the sustainability of building a business around making computers easier to use -- there's GOT to be more to this!<p>In other words, how critical is the problem of computer usability amongst 50 year olds when chil...

This is different from pursuing a startup because you are allowed to make use of massive resources and whatever IP the company has accumulated.

I quite agree. On the net, civility and formalty is out. From my experience people has a tendency to confuse civility with formality during face to face situation. Giving ppl the technology to collaborate does not mean they can collaborate as a team From my experience, I have seen people at team meeting never seeing t...

Patents are such tricky things. On one hand, they can be incredibly useful tools, encouraging a certain level of design in hopes of reward. On the other, they can be nothing more than an expensive minefield. Shake a patent around and threaten litigation, because everyone at the end of the day will choose settlement. La...

The reason is because there was no other outlet that had the ability to make them rich and famous overnight. The major labels controlled all of the media outlets until the internet came along.<p>Nowadays hardly any band would choose a major label over a large independent. There is no benefits anymore. Anyone can reach ...

You might have a better chance of succeeding within a company though, particularly a company with massive computational resources and accumulated IP. Scalability would be much easier to deal with. There's also the issue with name recognition. Having your service on something like Google Labs would give it lots of pub...

I crawled the MIT facebook and built a friendship predictor that will take guesses at who, out of the people you are not currently listed as being friends with, you actually are friends with in real life. People's traits (age, sex, home state, etc.) are significantly less predictive than how close you are on the [ fri...

As I'd heard it, the algorithmic piece would only be used in the case where they would have normally (with the crazy questions process) passed over the candidate.<p>One of the pieces of culture at Google is that everyone wants to make sure everyone there is smart, so they basically send away anyone they have doubts abo...

Riches if you succeed and no job if you fail is like a startup.<p>It's still no substitute for people who want to do real startups. But a good salary during the effort is a great way to attract all the great hackers that need reliable income.<p>Getting a big check or a pink slip at the end is ideal.<p>
