This post is from October 20, 2006 Twitter did not exist then, so I think it is obvious to the people who read this website how a tag like that would be there now.

Your comment is so isolated from the real world, and the very fundamentals of humanity, that I have to wonder how old you are and if you even have a girlfriend. Let alone kids. The…

Well to plays devil's advocate, the coal miner is working in a coal mine because he did not get a superior education. You can argue about why, but I am willing to bet (I don't know…

No it is sent to Soundexchange, and is split 50/50 with artist and label. It is the performance royalty. It is a different royalty than publishing royalty which is BMI/ASCAP and th…

Why do people say stuff like this?

"But, I just fail to see how they are going to get a strong user base" Why not some integration with Pandora, where you can create user specific radio stations based off of the ban…

There is a reason this company has been banned from the major app stores. They are not paying the artist for the music they play. So they are stealing from people like me.

Never used Spotify before, but the screen shot you just posted looks just like iTunes to me.

It doesn't matter. The NYTimes is the official mouthpiece for the US government, no matter who is in the White House. They will never be allowed to fail. (until some other mouthpie…

That was required reading at the conservatory I went to years ago. (Not by the teachers, among us classmates. We made everyone read that we interacted with) Got to play with Kenny …

All those things are great, but I stopped using them when I realized they can freeze my money, or remove money from a linked checking account for whatever reason they decide and I …

Yes that is it. Thanks for pulling finding that.

I'm not a criminal, I am a a pretty mundane guy actually, but of course we live in a society that every single one of us breaks some small law every day. Which is why I stopped usi…

How could the friend even find a way of contacting someone at facebook. That is near impossible.

Well March is the Spring Equinox, and September is the Fall Equinox and that would be my educated guess as to why those two months are special.

Considering the author of the story is permanently banned from Wall Street for fraud, it does not surprise me he is loose with the numbers. I would also question the rest of the an…

Well the credit card example is not new. I remember reading, in the NYTimes, about several people who had their credit limits reduced significantly after the 2008 crash, and the re…

Exactly. I sold a car on Craiglist once, and I will never do it again. You open yourself up to some potentially dangerous (life threatening) situations. To me a "potential" loss of…

Really? 4 year to vest for most companies here so if you were hired in winter of 2008 into spring of 09 all of those shares will be vested by time the lock up expires. That is assu…

livefyre does that. If you go to TalkingPointsMemo.com and check out their comment section you can see it in action. In my opinion it is a little messy only because when you load a…

Well they said that their database was compromised and they were not sure what was accessed. So I stopped using them after that incident. It was a while ago I don't remember the pa…

Except when LastPass was compromised last year...

I have a hard time accepting that answer. Those quotes were taken directly from these newsletters http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rXxdXLObxdk/TvFkFgQzpSI/AAAAAAAAFh... It has his name, h…

I loved that book. It feels good sometimes to know where that quote came from without Google. My path to becoming a fan of his work started young when I was no more than 11 or 12 a…
