Don't Read Too Much Into Radiohead's Claim That It Won't Offer Music For Free Again
Thu, 01 May 2008 02:10:20 PDT
Radiohead is making some noise again today, with lead singer Thom Yorke basically saying that the band won't do a promotion giving away free music again. Some are using this to suggest the model was a failure or that those of us who recognize the clear economic trends toward free music were somehow wrong. That's not the case at all. Early on Yorke had admitted that there was no large theory behind the decision to do the name your own price offering. One of the band's managers suggested it and th
America Is Fed Up With Final Fantasy Sequels
Thu, 01 May 2008 02:11:46 PDT
For 18 years, Square Enix had steadily released Final Fantasy titles, each with unrelated stories and characters, more so sticking to the Final Fantasy name in at least a story line sense, while obviously ignoring it when referring to their own titles. Square Union analyses the impact that's been had from their decision to buck the trend.

Rewriting the Financial Stability Report (or the credit boom in a nutshell…)
Thu, 01 May 2008 02:50:18 PDT
Just snipped this from the Bank of England’s Financial Stability Report, published today. It’s the credit boom in a nutshell: A prolonged period of overextension… For a number of years, low interest rates and benign global economic conditions encouraged higher risk-taking by investors and increased borrowing in parts of the household and corporate sectors. Strong demand for financial services and mark-to-market gains from rising asset prices boosted profitability at financial institutions and
Coal Price In World Market and Trade Higher
Thu, 01 May 2008 02:58:54 PDT
As consumers struggle to get used to $4-a-gallon gasoline, there’s another source of energy that is becoming more expensive: coal. The price of a ton of Central Appalachian coal on the futures market was $42.65 a year ago and has risen to around $96, according to figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That increase comes at a time when crude-oil prices have roughly doubled and natural-gas prices have risen more than 40 percent. “Crude oil rises up and then natural gas rises

OPINION: Energy Madness
Thu, 01 May 2008 03:00:00 PDT
For anyone not yet discouraged by the state of U.S. politics, the latest proposal from the presidential campaign trail may cause cynicism to finally triumph over hope. In response to soaring gasoline prices, Senators John McCain and Hillary Clinton have proposed a summer gas-tax holiday-suggesting that motorists will save 18 cents per gallon as a result. That would be a tiny fraction of the dramatic increase in gasoline prices over the past few years, and there's little reason to expect that t
The Art of Aging Gracefully- Part One
Thu, 01 May 2008 03:00:31 PDT
The number one question sent to me from beauty snobs of all ages is-- "How do I age gracefully"? Take a stroll through Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills or Bergdorf Goodman in NYC and you will see how NOT to do so from women who flaunt their latest scars from face lifts, brow lifts, etc. It appears having plastic surgery that looks obvious is the new status symbol, bizarre right? Puzzling as it may be, it's the "designer" plastic surgery syndrome-- women who want you to know they spent a lot of do

Thu, 01 May 2008 03:30:57 PDT
Navtej Kohli throws some light at the viability issues of much hyped solar energy. As the world is looking at alternative sources of energy, solar power is looked upon as the most viable source. At present solar energy is perhaps the vastly dominant source of energy we use. It just comes in a form we don’t really contemplate, which is oil. The first step of oil formation is the photosynthesis of sunlight by extremely small plankton like plants millions of years ago. These days, we need a qui
