Ignorance is a bad business advisor
HMV ignores the fact the iPod owns more than 90% of the world market. Hilarious quote: "Products based around Windows are going to push up their market share. It is going to be important that the service is compatible with Microsoft."— Aside of the stupid annotation in the last part of the line (it's like licking Microsoft's shoes, but after all HMV means His Masters Voice and the logo shows a dog...), the simple fact is distorted in the statement, that iPods are fully Windows compatible in the same way they work with Macs.

Turn the tables
I have to admit I’m more than intrigued with what DJ’s create on their turntables. In most cases it is just weaving patterns of other peoples music, as a friend of mine pointed out recently. In rare cases, and those are the stunning ones, something fresh comes out of it.
While I personally gave up on the idea of becoming a rock star, and successfully suppressed my desire to reinvent music, I still love to play with it. After a couple of hours playing with GarageBand, I feel now confident enough to let people listen to a song. Hey, I didn’t write it after all, I am just a weaver.
I’d love to hear what you think of my version of Coldplay's Clocks.
