Although the RIAA would doubtlessly disagree, I still find mix CDs to be a rather charming and thoughtful gift: since my parents have retired, I have tended to ask my father to make me CDs of tracks pulled from his extensive jazz collection over his natural inclination to buy me box sets. One problem with burnt CDs as gifts though is the presentation: it's hard to make them truly look good, which is why this ...

By George Soros1.The salient feature of the current financial crisis is that it was not caused by some external shock like OPEC raising the price of oil or a particular country or financial institution defaulting. The crisis was generated by the financial system itself. This fact—that the defect was inherent in the system —contradicts the prevailing theory, which holds that financial markets tend toward equilibrium and that deviations from the equilibrium either occur in a ...

Violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter is continually creating something new – from concerti by Krzysztof Penderecki and Andre Previn to works by Sebastian Currier and Henri Dutilleux. Mutter’s latest project is a recording of Sofia Gubaidulina’s In Tempus Praesens, written in 2006-07 and premiered with the Berlin Philharmonic in August 2007. Selke Harten-Strehk has more background here on Mutter’s website. I spoke with Mutter about the new concerto recording and about working with composers, and even if ...

一般，到了演出时间，乐手和主办人都会看看台下，面面相觑，说，要不再等一会儿？ 这和那种情况不一样：已经到了演出时间，台下乌秧乌秧的人，一起喊：大！腕！大！腕！大！腕！大！腕！过了半小时，大腕终于出来了，于是雷动，水银柱直接冲到了最上面。这叫九浅一深。 我们在等谁呢？说好了8点开始，有的人没记住，有的人知道会延迟，有的人心想，反正我是去见朋友喝啤酒的，有的人压根就不知道几点开始，连google一下都不。有的人冒着汗，紧赶慢赶还是迟到了。总之8点只有3个人，都不说话，无辜地坐在下面。他们和我们一起，等到了8点半，9点，9点半，后来是11点。这叫举而不坚。 3年了，水陆观音，一个实验音乐系列演出，在有水有陆的地方观察声音，后来变成了成功的地下party，听着噪音喝啤酒，会见来自全世界的地上地下的神人，谈事，买唱片，是一件很好玩的事情。所以有些人每周都来喝啤酒，变成了一种生活方式，这是我们，乐手和主办人感动的地方。 不过，我们还是把时间提前到了8点，为了另一些要坐地铁回家的人。要看演出的就准时来，要开party的，就10点来，大家两全其美。要是只有3个观众，就像水陆观音一开始那样，我们也演。有些人下班晚，下课晚，吃饭晚，可是谁也没办法照顾所有的人。孟京辉7点多就开演了，周华健是8点，难道你喜欢实验音乐仅仅是因为你下班晚？ 演出的，你！要等的，一定不是真想来看你演出的，你那么想演给很多人，为什么不去王府井？你这个贱人。

Leo hoy en El Mundo un artículo de Lucía Méndez "Futuro en femenino" en el que me llama la atención una cita de Alain Touraine y su teoría "En el mundo de los hombres primaba la conjunción "o": o la casa o el trabajo, o la guerra o la paz; o la derecha o la izquierda;o el capitalismo o el socialismo. El mundo de las mujeres es ambivalente, integrados, gobernado por la conjunción "y". El ...

VMware Brings Virtualization To Mobile Phones VMware, a company known for their virtualization software for the desktop and datacenter, recently announced their plans to bring that software to mobile phones through their new VMware Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP). The software is built on technology the company acquired from Trango Virtual Processors just last month. With this new technology, you would no longer have to carry both a work phone and a personal phone. Instead, your ...

very interesting concept - I know I would love to have one phone, and be able to divide it into a work phone, personal phone, heck maybe even a third "special" phone, call it the wild card phone, only elites get the number...who knows...

Τελικά γίνεται να τρέξει κανείς Debian σε κινητά με Android… η διαδικάσία είναι πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα. Θα ήταν αρκετά ενδιαφέρων να δούμε κατά πόσο είναι πιθανό να εγκαταστήσει κανείς Linux, είτε Debian είτε Android σε κάποιο κινητό με Windows Mobile (υπάρχει μια προσπάθεια για εγκατάσταση του Android με χρήση του HaRET αλλά δεν θα μπορούσα να πω ότι ήταν επιτυχείς στο δικόμου LG KS20 αλλά δεν ήταν επιτυχής).

Since this is a political season, and with the economic crisis, I think everyone in finance understands there is a sort of “silly season” that ensues. We certainly noted the sort of irrational behavior that would immediately make an economist question their beliefs. To me, though, the most offensive form of this stupidity comes from those who believe the Community Reinvestment Act and Fannie and Freddie sparked the whole crisis. Mr. Ritholtz rails against this ...

The ubiquitous shiny disc. Photo: “Fanch The System.” There’s a massive misconception of digital formats, that somehow if something’s digital it’ll last forever in a pristine state. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth: because digital formats are so intolerant of any error, they’re actually more susceptible to physical harm than analog formats. (If you don’t believe me, compare a vinyl LP with some scratches on it to a CD with a single ...

SquareTrade, which sells extra warranties for cell phones and other devices, looked at the failure rates of 15,000 phones covered under its plans. The malfunction rate for iPhones after one year is 5.6 percent, compared to 11.2 percent for the BlackBerry and 16.2 percent for the Treo.' ...
