This is why the major labels started divisions called "incubators." The idea is similar to businesses. Labels can incubate young start up bands into future successes. Some of the best bands in the world are also great entrepreneurs pivoting their fan base into consumers across diversified media platforms. I agree.

Not every talented developer should be in business for themselves. Not every developer wants to have their own business, they don't want to deal with employees, sales calls, support calls, growing a business and etc... And even more important, not every developer is good at business. Startups fail for many reasons and one common reason is the technical founders just aren't good at selling, marketing and being a face of the company. I wouldn’t say it’s wrong.

But it's wrong! If you are talented developer, stop letting someone other use your work for profit, develop income for yourself. Isn’t that cute. But it’s wrong!

Especially during these holiday times; it's so easy to get wrapped up in the consumerism of it all and lose the fact that our own men and women are away from their families and fighting...and for what?! So back at home we can get the get the early bird speical at Macy's? The new XBox game? The iPad? We can only hope people use this quickly approaching NYE to refocus for the coming year.

After the oil spill all major oil companies were asked by the US Government to give a copy of their safety plans... the plans were all but identical, even making the same reference to a species that doesn't live around the US and the name of a long deceased expert. As Imam Zaid Shakir said "The real finger of blame should be pointed at ourselves. We know the environmental, political, and social consequences of the oil-based civilization we have allowed to evolve. Yet we have done little to stop it." And this is not just about the 'oil addiction' in the US, but elsewhere too. My 2p. In peace, Rianne Why boycott just BP?
