Slacker and Pandora portable radio to finally put a bullet in Sirius

Posted in Music, Technology, tagged , , , , , , on 06, 1, 2009 | 7 Comments »

I don’t generally short stocks but for the longest time I told anyone that would listen that the stocks that I would short, if I did do such a thing, would be the stocks of the satellite radio players. They reminded me of AOL early on. Data wants to be free and tiny walled gardens [...]

Beam me up!

They apparently managed to teleport the quantum state of two atoms a meter apart. It reminds me of compact disks coming from Einstein’s work on photons and [...]
