Kinda Lame

I like this new system of achievement points in World of Warcraft, you finally get noted for things like carrying the Warsong Gulch flag three times without dying. ([Ironman], screenshot below).
And yes that was the three to zero game. I carried it straight from the start to the end without a drop, although I was being beat upon. Good times.

The iTunes Music Store (or iTMS) is already the gold standard of music sales. Why shouldn’t they try to become the worlds clearinghouse of music? They have the user and active buyer base to just swallow the competition in utter control of the market. (And why aren’t they buying the rights to music yet? Or are they?)

They should partner up with Myspace to sell their music downloads. iTunes or Myspace would never let this happen, but they (Apple) could push it in a real slick way. They could just ask Myspace to forward their downloads through iTMS. By forward, I mean that Apple would be a clearinghouse of sorts for Myspace music downloads. They would hold a digital copy of the catalog and only allow downloads through some sort of encrypted API that allows users to purchase the music on Myspace’s mobile application, and have it downloaded and integrated into iTunes.

The question is who stands to lose money? iTMS could suffer because they have made it easier for a competitor to enter the market (on their device no doubt!). Myspace could be suckered into paying too much. I propose just one cent of the purchase should go to Apple. They would be able to make a profit on a few million songs I’d think. The electronic music download market is primed (current economic times excluded, of course) and it could produce more opportunities like this. It could allow any competitor to plug into Apple’s user-base. Apple must do something to compete too. Google Android is just around the corner – it could do this for free (as in speech).

The songs would integrate into the iPod/iPhone and iTunes and create a harmonious experience for the end users and Apple can tax every download that goes through their device. Why not try it? Then get the competitors to do it too and then you have money coming in from every angle. And most companies, I would think, would love to tap into the iPhone user’s wallets.

He could cut your face off, if he wanted to. Likely he won’t, but it might happen.

It’s been about one month since I’ve started to use iTunes as the primary music player in the house and it’s a great time to check the standings.
The top ten is made up of Lil Wayne (mainly), Eminen, ill poetic, Snoop Dogg, Outkast, Beastie Boys and Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony.
The reason I love it is that even though Lil Wayne is playing now, of course, my buddy ill poetic is up at the top hanging along with some big names. It’s not bias, it’s the sound. That list is all different types of rap sounds and he fits as a supplement and as a compliment. Yeah, Lil Wayne is still the best rapper alive, but as far as a sound, music, a movement, he’s up there.

Click here to see Obama speak about the economy and the mortgage crisis.

As I said there was not a let down face in the place. At least one of the campaigns provided a clear message in Cincinnati today, Palin just attacked.

The masses are getting sweaty and anxious to see the main event. I believe the blip on stage is Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory. He was late getting in from Dayton, Ohio – but he didn’t dissapoint.
Oddly he never said anything about raising my taxes… Nothing.
