    Meanwhile in the UK, El Reg reports Court rejects Tesla’s latest libel spat with Top Gear Check out the comments section for What a giant, giant muppet # This ex-BBC ( now Daily Mail) Mr Titus is: "My favourite thing about owning a Tesla is the opportunity for thought leadership. I’ve never owned a car that inspired people to photograph me with on the street. Women flirt with me at stoplights. Kids chase me and ask if it’s “the electric one that doesn’t need gas” [...] There are significant UK tax benefits, and a host of other government incentives, just for driving a great car!." http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/i-fell-love-tesla-roadster-very-one-driven-jeremy-clarkson
  2. Kafka was an optimist.
  3. ^ Yah, that could be problematic with previous technologies
  4. Hmm perhaps because the marketing slogan "input modified to produce less worse output from proprietary post processing" isn't as snappy as "Mastered for iTunes". Comments point out that if we could get the Studio masters, they couldn't sell us all the different versions, as we'd be free to down-rez/down sample as appropriate for our own needs. It's not as if they are fully exploiting / limited by 20-20Khz and 96dB as it is. You might as well say Mastered for Yamaha NS10. To the OP: Vinyl Convenient? if you call having to get up every 20 minutes or so to change sides convenient.

  10. Al, How did you square the "I use an iPhone, and own several Mac's" conflict of interest? or is that just a naive outsiders view of proceedings? Are only jurors required to be unbiased?
  11. Ken, you're being rational again.
  12. Can you not appeal to hubby's sense of symmetry and move the chair?
  13. ^ this : http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/02/why-pinterest-is-playing-dumb-about-making-money/253273/ They pretend that they don't care about making money off of users and we users pretend that we aren't the product. 1)We know Pinterest is driving truly massive traffic to retail sites, by some accounts more than YouTube, LinkedIn, and Google+ combined. It is, after all, a platform that's perfect for shopping! 2) We know Pinterest used SkimLinks to add affiliate links. 3) Affiliate links generate revenue.... And how to play the game http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204792404577227542820850590.html?mod=googlenews_wsj Be selective. Highlight only a few of your most popular or newest items so your profile doesn't look like an advertisement Best quote elsewhere "It's like crack. for ladies"

  21. Meanwhile in the UK . http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-17039076 Whitney Houston: Sony 'sorry' for album price hike Record label Sony has apologised for increasing the price of two Whitney Houston albums in the UK, hours after her death on Saturday. The wholesale cost of the two LPs - Houston's Ultimate Collection and Greatest Hits - went up by about £3 each, causing an automatic price increase on iTunes. In a statement, Sony said the albums had been "mistakenly mispriced". It added the error was "immediately corrected" once it had been discovered.Houston fans had taken to Twitter describing the price hike as "greedy" and "shameful". Edit: El Reg chimes in http://www.theregist...ney_price_hike/ Today, Sony Music finally responded to the hue and cry, blaming a clerical error for the price change: Whitney Houston product was mistakenly mis-priced on the UK iTunes store on Sunday. When discovered, the mistake was immediately corrected. We apologise for any offence caused. Quite how the albums accidentally jumped up in cost only on the UK iTunes store and immediately after Houston's death was not explained. ®
