“It’s staggering really that modern American Christianism supports wealth while Jesus demanded total poverty, fetishizes family while Jesus left his and urged his followers to abandon wives, husbands and children, champions politics while Jesus said his kingdom was emphatically not of this world, defends religious war where Jesus sought always peace, and backs torture, which is what the Romans did to Jesus. At some point these charlatans need to be chased out of the temple. Which these days means the Republican party.”

What terrible widows and orphans ripoff is going to have to happen before the SEC makes this maneuver illegal?

Yes, why is this still legal? With all the legislation about accounting and reporting rules and then this is still legal. Seems farcical.

Is Apple Moving iTunes to a Web Store?

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:17:57 -0800

johnsampson:

As you may know, I founded a web property called The DJ List - Worldwide Directory of DJs and Dance Music. I recently have been working with the iTunes affiliate program and have indexed some 15k albums for DJs on The DJ List in the past few weeks.

Yesterday in working with the affiliate program and links, I witnessed a significant change in Apple’s iTunes site - a move to a web based store - away from that of installed app.

A few days ago, any affiliate link to an iTunes product would simply render a launch/re-direction page that would open the the album page inside of the iTunes app and take you back to the publisher site. It flashed a brief message saying opening iTunes with a quick display of the album logo as well.

As of yesterday, this has changed. Take a look at the following page for Above & Beyond’s new Anjunabeats album.

A complete web based product profile for the album, complete with; album details, tracklist, reviews, customers also bought, etc.

Additionally, there are very SEO optimized links to artist pages. Here’s an example Artist Profile URL:

“http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/above-beyond/id20318188”

I imagine the SEO album pages are not all that far off. This will be of significant impact to results in the search world in the months ahead.

Apple now has a web based store. Amazon, et al. pay close attention to Apple future moves. The impact will be felt across all product offerings in the iTunes store.

A few additional points:

I’m saddened that the links no longer redirect to my site. I will miss out on valuable traffic.

Are iTunes affiliate links now being tracked/credited at the web url destination?

And the swine, he is unclean to you. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, they shall be an abomination unto you. (Leviticus 11:7-12) (Thou shalt not eat pork, shrimp, lobster, or any shellfish.)

Thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. (Leviticus 19:19) (Thou shalt not wear clothes of mixed fibers.)

Every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death. (Leviticus 20:9)

You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard. (Leviticus 19:27)

If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:13)

You can’t pick and choose which rules of Leviticus apply to society or do not. Either follow every rule because it is the word of God, or follow none of them because it is not. I say we just trash the whole thing. Just saying.

Exactly.

“The term “denialism,” used by Mr. Specter as an all-purpose, pop-sci buzzword, is defined by him as what happens “when an entire segment of society, often struggling with the trauma of change, turns away from reality in favor of a more comfortable lie.””

“A start-up company from the Seattle area won $900,000 on Friday in a NASA contest to build a miniature prototype of a machine that could one day climb from Earth to outer space. The idea of a space elevator — passengers and cargo traveling up and down a 60,000-mile cable — has long been a fixture of science fiction, notably in Arthur C. Clarke’s novel “The Fountains of Paradise.””

Free cheesesteaks to hungry New Yorkers.

Free cheesesteaks to hungry New Yorkers.:

sarahcooley:

Tomorrow, Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation is hitting the road to share Philadelphia’s favorite sandwich, the cheesesteak with the people of Manhattan. To kick off Game 1 of the World Series, GPTMC will land at Shorty’s, a cheesesteak shop and sports bar, and will be handing out 500-750 free cheesesteaks to hungry New Yorkers.

The With Love World Series party starts at 4:00pm, with free Shorty-sized cheesesteaks for all until game time. Then, fans are encouraged to stick around and watch the game on Shorty’s five televisions, while GPTMC hands out a variety of With Love, Philadelphia XOXO prizes, one of which is a $100 gift certificate to any Garces Restaurant Group restaurant if the Phillies hit a homerun.

Manhattan-based Phillies fans, come out to perform your civic duty, and claim a free sandwich. Yankees fans, we know you love cheesesteaks too, and you’re more than welcome to come; you just might want to leave that A-Rod jersey at home.

Shorty’s
576 9th Avenue – New York, NY 10036

“Jim Cramer just told Chris Matthews that we are going to have a great retail season this Christmas. Given Cramer’s track record, I’d start preparing for a complete economic collapse somewhere around Thanksgiving, complete with people jumping from buildings, mass layoffs, hyper-inflation and bread lines.”

- I am surprised Cramer is still on TV. His advice if followed would have sent people to financial ruin. I would think the network would be terrified of being sued.
