lautenbach··on Welcome in the social streaming music era
Odd that they're making the case for (potentially paid) streaming versus illegal downloading. The more interesting debate, in my mind, is whether consumers are ready to shift from an ownership model to a subscription model, not whether consumers should switch from illegal to legal behavior.

lautenbach··on The most surprising demographic crisis
Interesting when you compare the argument made in the ranking article right now (http://www.spacex.com/updates.php) to the one made here in the Economist. China is at a crossroads it would seem. Further, the potential for China to have an even greater healthcare-cost problem than the US seems pretty obvious now, no?
