I took the SelectSmart Quiz which asks you for your political opinions and tells you which Presidential candidate matches your views. The program told me that I should vote for Al Sharpton. What are your results? Leave a comment.
Speaking of comments, I updated the look of the comment viewer window and changed the code around so it won’t be quite as slow.
Finally, one record company is getting it. Universal is lowering its suggested retail price for CDs to $12.98. The change is said to be in order to better compete with online downloads. They’re going to have to do better than $12.98. When CDs first came out and became mainstream, that’s basically what the retail price was.
With all the technological advancements and the proliferation of compact discs, the retail price should be $7.50 to $8.00 in my opinion. Maybe at that price, people will start buying them again.
Johnny Depp made some critical remarks about the United States in a German magazine called Stern. Stern is apparently a weekly news and current affairs magazine, kind of like Entertainment Weekly with nudity. Unfortunately, I can’t actually check out the magazine from work, so I’ll have to find the article later and post a translation.
I expect there to be some mild backlash in the media, people calling to boycott his movies, etc. For my own part, I’d probably be happier staying in the south of France, too.
