Five Social Media Tips for Indie Musicians
To tweet or not to tweet. That is no longer the question. Musicians who don't take advantage of social networking tools will soon perish in the La Brea tar pits of old-school media. At least that's what the “social media rock stars" told the audience at an event this afternoon hosted by the Recording Academy as ...
Google's Don't Be Evil Mantra is Bullshit, Adobe is Lazy: Apple's Steve Jobs
After a big public announcement of the sort Apple had this week for the iPad CEO Steve Jobs often takes time in the day or two afterwards to have a Town Hall at One Infinite Loop, making himself available for questions from employees bold enough to stand up and take one right between the eyes. This ...
The Day the Tech World Stood Still
Over the past three months, people of all walks of life have asked me about the Apple tablet. Some work in the tech industry, but many were people I know from my outside life, who have become caught up in the excitement surrounding Apple's announcement.

Will the iPad Kill the Kindle? Of Course Not
Will the iPad Kill the Kindle? That's a question that lots of people have asked me since yesterday's Apple announcement. In many respects, it's representative of a belief that all markets are zero-sum: that for one to succeed, the other needs to fail. But I don't really believe that. Tablets and e-readers may well end up ...

With every Internet fad's rise to fame, there must be a slow decline into mediocrity. Xanga, Friendster, and MySpace have all enjoyed a quick rise in fame and fortune only to be yesterday's news in a few short years. Twitter's rock-star status may be beginning its decline, since the middle of last year when the number ...
What's the Apple iPad's Killer App?
I'm no Apple fanboy, but seeing Steve Jobs on stage in person is exciting, and it isn't just about his personal magnetism. Apple has $29 billion in the bank and Steve seems determined to spend it building really cool stuff. The iPad certainly fits that bill. Just a little slab of a display lets you play ...
