...labels want to see the same library of music available everywhere, in every possible way: for free and by subscription; streaming from sites and pay-per-download; locked and unlocked. Let the best business model win! The labels make money every which way. Indeed, both Sony Ericsson and its rival, Nokia, are launching services overseas this year (and later in the U.S., my friend says) that would give cell phone users access to the same vast music library, for free. The tunes would be linked to the cellular handsets, but even if you dropped your mobile carrier, you could keep...
...current size of its library notwithstanding, MySpace Music does a number of things that will excite music fans - and might help the social network fight off rival Facebook, which since April has surpassed it in monthly traffic. A set of tools called MyMusic lets you create a limitless number of playlists (with as many as 100 songs on each) that you can listen to on the site or share with your buddies. Say, for instance, you're hankering for some Coldplay. Create a playlist, drag and drop all four albums, and you're good to go. The full-length songs...
...Pledges! Let’s rush. Principle 1: Pay attention to the game. There are many do’s and don’t’s when it comes to rushing the field.

It was that allegation that served as the political ammunition party leaders needed to oust Mbeki, though observers suggest they had a much broader list of complaints. "So much antagonism has built up towards him that people were determined not to let him go in any dignified way," author and ANC parliamentarian-turned-critic Andrew Feinstein told TIME. "That is related...
...Mbeki's autocratic management style and ruthlessness in dealing with his opponents - he deftly outmaneuvered a more popular rival, Cyril Ramaphosa, in order to assume the presidency after Nelson Mandela left office in 1999 - has angered many. Nevertheless, the ANC's decision raises a deeper question of just how able Zuma is to control the militants among his supporters, who some fear are now in a position to dictate party policy...
