Last.fm Starts Paying Royalties to Unsigned Bands

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/10/2008

But this is for bands who are not signed and not represented by Soundexchange - Last.fm always had to pay to play music from signed bands - but this is for a small garage band that just uploads its music to the site. (see comment)

High schoolers turn in plagiarism screeners for copyright infringement

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 04/01/2007

I agree with you guys on the copyright issue, but here is the simple reason turnitin keeps your papers: they need something to cross reference your papers to. Here is an example from a class I taught last semester: Student A hands in a brilliant paper, … (see comment)

Office 2007: From bloated to sleek

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/22/2007

I have been running the Beta with the Technical Refresh on my 1.6ghz Pentium M with 1gb of RAM and I have not even thought about the speed of it because it has been a complete non-issue. The thing just runs. I am editing a 50 page paper - no problems. … (see comment)

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 01/22/2007

First look inside Boeing's new 747

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/19/2007

Coach always sucks, but this configuration, with four seats in the middle sucks even more. And to think that these are planes for long-haul trips... Boeing and Airbus always show nice pictures with lots of leg-room and a bar. That's not what the airlin … (see comment)

Sunglasses a 'security threat' to Airline TSA employees

Comment in News (-6 diggs, 0 replies) - on 11/02/2006

There is just so much wrong with that blog post besides the sunglasses issue. For example, there is no direct flight from LAX to Providence - just a one-stop flight and that's the last flight of the day, so he couldn't have been on that one to begin with. … (see comment)
