Bad Company of the Year Award!

The company that I am putting at the top of my list is a 4 letter word so foul, that it has been banned from my home. I have asked my wife who is Japanese to refrain from buying any of their products for the next 5 years. The Bad company of the year is non other than SONY. The

Jason Calacanis and a Podcast Prediction!

Hey Jason got a question for you and it is in reference to this prediction: 12. No podcasting company will have any significant success in 2006, but a number of podcasters will be offered great jobs at Sirius and XM Radio. How can you say no one will have significant success in 2006, when Podcast Connect has seen huge success

Apple iTunes Music Loss continues to Spread

I hate to say it but the person in Rex Hammocks office that lost all of her iTunes music when her hard-drive crashed on her Powerbook should have known better.

Banned by Google?

Their are always two sides to a story, so I am was hesitant to post this today, but I think it's important for companies that built new technology to be able to stand on their own two feet. When you are introducing some search algorithms that may in fact be better than what the biggest search engine out their, you

Rootkits and BitTorrent could Cause RIAA and MPAA to come knocking

I am going to be straight up, if this latest hack gets rolling their is going to be hell to pay. Imagine that your machine gets hacked and a crafty hacker installs a hidden rootkit. (Oh yeah doesn't Sony have like a 1/2 million possible computers with a hidden rootkit installed). Lets just take it a step further not only

Consumer Bandwidth Speed up but not Tim Warner?

I have been bitching to my local cable company, who's broadband service is through Tim Warner aka RoadRunner, about my terribly slow upload speed. Pushing all of these Audio files I am creating, is adding un-needed time to my production runs. I am willing to pay for higher speed but they don't have anything available. The phone line I am
