Vaskerville··on Why Do Cats Love Boxes?
I think publications write about "Anything Cats" simply because they know that alot of people will read and discuss the articles.

That being said, my cat doesn't like to sit in a box but she does enjoy an open sock drawer or suitcase.

I'm clearly smarter than I thought I was.
Vaskerville··on DuetDisplay and Unattributed Open-Source
It works well for me - 30fps is good enough for my needs. Let's hope they clear up their OS credit issue promptly.
Vaskerville··on Cuba and the U.S. will begin to normalize relations
Me too. And, more coincidental, I'm moving to Port au Prince in just a couple months!

Vaskerville··on Samsung overtakes Apple as world's most profitable mobile phone maker
Have they factored in how much Samsung spends on advertising? It's far more than Apple spends...
Vaskerville··on Why (not) pay for music?
Do you know anybody running indie labels? I do. You are only talking about major labels and "mainstream" music in your article. But, it's hurting EVERYBODY.

Some of the reactions here are silly. If you love an artist buy their record, tell your friends, go see them in concert. Blaming labels (big or small) as a justification for illegal downloading is [ insert descriptor of your choice ].

Supporting your favorite artists is cool and the right thing to do. Let them deal with their labels whether they wish to have one or not.

The underlying premise that labels are there solely to "promise" artists riches via hit albums is invalid. Perhaps for the mega labels that's the case, but there are a heck of alot of small labels who have honorable intentions and can and do provide quality assistance (of many different kinds) for artists.
