- Free business book is Web sensation
Over a million downloads, yet Suze Orman’s book is ranked number 6 on Amazon. The author is giving her book away because she believes the message is important…and, you know what?, there’s more than one important message happening here. - Musicians sue Universal Music for lost royalties
Universal, naturally, issues a strong, yet cliched denial: ""We believe that these claims are baseless, and we are confident that we will prevail in court," the company said." That’s what she said. - Music videos rely on ingenuity and interactivity
Sort of. - Writers strike’s over. Now the fallout begins.

Hmm, maybe because Hollywood tends to see women’s issues as cutesy and the stuff of romantic comedy (generally very bad romantic comedy, to boot), and, thus, the women simply can’t be bothered to pay for an experience that dumbs down their lives. Just a thought. - A new band of writers
You know the drill: front the band, write a novel. For those who find regular multi-tasking too, you know, easy. - Carpenters Fans Try To Save Former Home
