Re: Chevy Bolt sales decline for second straight year, a warning for Tesla competitors

We also have to factor in that GM (and other manufacturers of EV's) didn't try AT ALL to sell those cars. In fact, their dealerships are set up to talk people OUT OF those cars. So, if I'm in the market for an EV, I'm probably going to do business with someone who at least appears to give a damn about the product and the category.

You clearly lack the ability to see what this portends for the very near future.

Wow. That's the most awful thing I think I've ever read on the internet. You're a truly horrible person.

That was a very intelligent and thought provoking comment on the article. Right up until you couldn't spell 'lose'. A demerit on your house.

The reason police don't care is the same reason they don't care about anything else getting stolen. There's no money in it for them like writing non-stop speeding tickets and DUI's. And such little chance of getting a nice boat or car out of a marijuana forfeiture case. No cash? No cops. Period.

I would love to use it, but my only TV signal is OTA HDTV. Without a set-top box, how does one incorporate OTA signal through this device? I don't see a coax connection for antenna...?

It's only fitting that a bartender at an Irish Pub, who is about to go to work and be brutalized, should win on St Patrick's Day!!

Re: The Hot Dish - Rachel Hutton - City of Minneapolis offers vacant lots to community gardeners

Why the negativity?!!! I think it's absolutely fantastic that Minneapolis is encouraging people to bond together and grow some vegetables in some otherwise wasted space. This is exactly the type of thing that I want my city/county/state to be promoting. I hope the project is a brilliant success!!

This is sick. It's completely appalling to me that we have to have secret underground leaks of what our government is doing behind our backs. America? Really? Has is come to this?

You aren't wanted at Saints games. Please leave the stadium now, and take your pretentiousness with you. That is all.

Re: Amazon zaps purchased copies of Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm from Kindles

I now believe that the entire Kindle existence is merely a beautiful marketing strategy to get people to understand how valuable actual books are.

I couldn't tell you what the name of the procedure was, but it involved about an inch and a half incision in my elbow. It's been about a year since the surgery, and I probably have 95% of the feeling back in my ring and pinky fingers (which were completely 'asleep' feeling before the surgery), and the hypersensitivity of my elbow has pretty much gone away. Definitely worth having the surgery, in my opinion, but recovery has taken far longer than initially expected. After 6 months, I saw almost no improvement at all, but things are much better now...

Re: Rattled Target Corp. employees speak to City Pages

I'm stunned by the negativity so far in these comments. You may not like shopping at Target, but these individuals did nothing to you, and are now jobless in a terrible economy and job market. How about a little compassion, and basic manners?

I wish them and their families well, and hope they find work quickly.

Re: People still love Cities 97 CDs?

gochet — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:06:00 -0000

While I applaud the fact that all the money goes to charity, I must be honest...

I've heard a few of the songs off this CD, and I won't even waste the couple of minutes it takes to steal it off the internet.

The first Cities 97 CD sampler was pretty good. How they managed to build this into a 20 legacy is utterly beyond me.

Re: Grammy Tech summit keynote: stop whining about CD sales and realize the definition of success has changed

Keep those day jobs. Absolutely.

Keep them while you build your fan base. Keep them while you maintain your current fans and engage new ones. While you're playing too many gigs for too-little pay, and struggling to find new revenue models, such as T-shirts, posters, collectables, backstage access, private shows, etc, etc, etc.

And down the road, you'll be rewarded with (hopefully) a massive fan base who will be willing to buy your next offering NO MATTER WHAT. And even when you acheive that level of success (which not every band will have the talent or the persistance for), you'll still not make the kind of money that today's top acts make.

But that's the point. The music industry shouldn't be about 100 acts making billions of dollars, while hundreds of millions of bands get nothing. This new music industry allows you to have music as a job, if you're willing to work hard at it, just like every other self- employed person who rises above his/her peers and succeeds. And it allows you to make a middle-class living by being good and being smart and working hard, which was never possible under the thumb of a recording industry who owned your content and controlled your earnings.

Yes, keep your day job for a while. But in this new music industry, the payoff will most likely be worth it, where in the past only music's 'lottery winners' got a peice at all.

Sorry guys, but as much as I love TechCrunch, Tim's right. I've stopped clicking on ANY links from TechCrunch because I'm so sick of being taken to CrunchBase. While CrunchBase is a wealth of information, it is not what I expect when I'm clicking on a company name in an article, and it's maddening.

The simple answer, of course is to link the company name to the company website, and then provide a CrunchBase link afterwords in parens.

Unless, of course, you're trying to *intentionally* deceive your readership in the name of higher click rates....
