A Morning to Remember

An hour and a half ago I got to work two hours late. I have now worked 15 minutes so far today. That must be that "new" math or something...or, maybe I just slept in and forgot my laptop at home and had to go back and get it...fun stuff.

As long as I am logged into Blogger, I'll post about these two items as well:

1.) Allofmp3.com is shutting down. No more $0.15 songs...it's back to the $0.99 iTunes. Actually, I have had a couple quality issues with Allofmp3 and I buy almost all my music on iTunes.

2.) TV and movie companies might actually be starting to get a clue that this whole "downloading movies" thing could be a money-maker. I have been saying that for years now, but who am I? The TV and movie industry is ready for an "iTunes" type revolution. Millions of TV shows and movies are being downloaded illegally right now, much like music was being downloaded in the Napster era 7 or 8 years ago. Someone needs to come in and do it right. iTunes and their $1.99 for a 20min TV show is ridiculous. Someone, please, see this opportunity and do something brilliant like iTunes was for music. Oh, yeah, this article sparked this ;)

Well, I should get to work. I'm 4 hours behind schedule now. Oh well, things will still get done and nothing has fallen apart...

Carbonite - 224 Hours Later

16% uploaded after 9 1/2 days...ok, I give up on this one. From what I have read though, this is a great service. I would recommend this for the 5-10GB and under crowd. 100GB is just rediculous to try and backup this way. Oh well, I tried. Now on to other ideas...I'll post more about those later.

I'm not alone!

"As can be seen in the results the majority of (law abiding) users will stay on XP for the foreseeable future with 38.6% of the vote. However, 10.5% said they would probably convert to using a Mac, 21.1% showed confidence and declared an intent to upgrade to Vista while a strong 29.8% expressed an interest in converting to Linux."

It's always nice to know that you aren't totally out in left field with your thoughts/ideas...
