I'm new the this forum, but I have been messing with LinkShare and other affilaite programs for about six months.

About a month ago I figured out how to use iTunes store JSON web services to search for music on the fly.

Here is an example of how I implemented the search (see "related music").

Any feedback on my implementation would be much appreciated.]]>

I am having difficulties to subscribe, might be nice to have a contact address over there.
Linkshare.com is not really helpfull.

My site depends heavily on the iTunes system. I am already enrolled to the iTunes US program, and want to have my site working in Japan as well.

What are your experiences?

If that artist is successful, much of that outlay will be deducted from their royalties. But label executives point out that they take the risk and recoup their investment in fewer than one in five cases.Columbia Records boss Mike Smith, who signed acts like The Ting Tings and Mark Ronson, said: "Behind every record that you buy, a record company's been putting often millions of pounds into getting that record to them, and to help an artist realise a creative vision."I wish there were other people investing the kind of money and expertise that we do into new artists, but unfortunately that just isn't happening."
But Jeremy Silver, chief executive of the Featured Artists' Coalition lobby group, said labels were signing fewer artists than ever because budgets havegone down, and artists were beginning to be able to make a living without them."The combination of touring, playing live and working online is really starting to make a difference," he said."Increasingly we're starting to see artists emerging that are selling out venues without having had any mainstream exposure whatsoever and without the involvement of a major record label, but having developed fan communities online who know about them."They indicate a future opportunity for a much more varied set of approaches for building a career as a musician."]]>

But this year, the Academy changed the script. When it expanded the best picture category from five nominees to 10, it also changed the voting system from a plurality (most votes wins) to something that sounds like a communicable disease – STV. It actually stands for the Single Transferable Vote system, and it's also known as Instant Runoff, Preferential Voting or Alternative Voting.Basically, instead of just selecting a favorite, each voter ranks all 10 nominees. The ballots are separated into 10 groups: those with "Avatar" No. 1 in one group, those with "Hurt Locker" as the top pick in another, and so forth. Then, if no film has a majority of No. 1 votes, the system goes to work.Let's say, for argument's sake, that "A Serious Man" receives the fewest No. 1 votes. (Sorry, Joel and Ethan.) That film would be knocked out, and the ballots in that pile would be redistributed among the remaining nominees, based on those ballots' second choices. If that doesn't produce a film with a majority, the process is repeated with the No. 9 movie, and so forth.

Some people see this system as favoring "Hurt Locker." They reason is that even people who didn't love the war drama respect it as a well-made film, while people who disliked "Avatar" really hated it, because they disagree with one of its perceived messages, or they just don't think a special-effects-heavy film should win best picture. So while many people who don't rate "Hurt Locker" first might put it second or third, voters who don't pick "Avatar" to win might rank it at or near the bottom. See the problem with handicapping a 10-nominee race under these rules? You have to predict not only voters' first choices, but how strategic they'll be filling out the rest of the ballot. I think the system could open the door for a film that, while not many think of it as a best picture, just about everyone loved – a film like "Up." By the way, you may not have heard of this system before, but it's been around a while. In fact, the Academy has long used it to choose the best picture nominees. It's also gaining a foothold in politics: it's been used or is set to be used in some 15 cities and states, including Memphis, Minneapolis, San Francisco, and Burlington, Vermont, as well as in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and other countries. Supporters say it eliminates the expense of runoff elections, and ensures the winner has a mandate from a majority.]]> In the past, that wouldn't have mattered: the top vote-getter would take the trophy, end of story.

I'd rather not beat a dead horse on whether another provider like T-Mobile or Verizon will get the iPhone -- that's complete speculation and folks are either in the yes camp or no camp and the subject of too many other threads.

So beyond a 64GB iPhone, what else can we expect? What else do you hope for (within the realm of reason)?

Will the folks in Cupertino do a refresh of the iPhone's form factor? Will the new version be taller or thinner?

Given last fall's debut of the Motorola Droid and yesterday's debut of Google's Nexus One, how should Apple one-up these phones?]]>
