Eleven-year-old Toe Thompson is the designated punching bag for the bullies of the suburban community of Black Falls, where his and everyone else's parents work for Black Box Industries, makers of the do-it-all gadget that's sweeping the nation. But during a freak storm, a mysterious Rainbow Rock, which grants wishes to anyone who finds it, falls from the sky. Suddenly, the neighborhood that Toe already thinks is weird is about to get a lot weirder. As the Rainbow Rock ricochets around the town from kid to kid and parent to parent wishes-come-true quickly turn the neighborhood upside down in a wild rampage of everything from tiny aliens to giant boogers.

iLike's Valuation Roller Coaster

clipper's remarks: The social media player, iLike, has had a roller coaster ride in its valuation. Perhaps it has been a fun time for the customers (like me), listening and sharing their music tastes. And, perhaps it was an exciting ride for the staff, as they counted their paper money stock options.

However, for the investors (e.g., Ticketmaster), who appear to be losing at least half their value, it must have felt like tossing your lunch after the worst ride at the fair.

How a 'Made' Startup Was Clipped

Two years ago, music service iLike appeared to be set: Its CEO said it was "made," its investor mused it could be a "billion-dollar winner," and the press was enthralled. Now the poster child is a cautionary tale.

iLike became something of an icon for a certain class of startup: Built on social networks, fast-growing, unprofitable, advertising supported. The company's impending sale to MySpace at a fire-sale price could hardly be a bigger wakeup call to these fellow makers of software "widgets."

The company was once valued at $53 million, back when Ticketmaster bought a 25 percent stake in late 2006, according to the Seattle Times. iLike amassed a total of $17 million from Ticketmaster and other investors like Silicon Valley venture capitalist Vinod Khosla and former AOL exec Bob Pittman. Now it's negotiating to sell for just $19.5 million, All Things D reports, and $6 million of that is contingent on retaining certain employees in coming months.

clipper's remarks: 5% of market share. 58% of the industry's operating profits

Clip Source: online.wsj.com

No wonder they are called smart phones. Not only can these fancy phones send email, get directions and play music, they can generate huge profits for their makers.

At least for iPhone's manufacturer Apple and BlackBerry's Research In Motion. The two accounted for only 3% of all cellphones sold in the world last year but 35% of operating profits, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Brian Modoff. The disparity will become even starker this year when, he estimates, the two will take 5% of the market in unit terms but 58% of total operating profits.

Why Japan’s Cellphones Haven’t Gone Global

Why Japan’s Cellphones Haven’t Gone Global

TOKYO — At first glance, Japanese cellphones are a gadget lover’s dream: ready for Internet and e-mail, they double as credit cards, boarding passes and even body-fat calculators.

But it is hard to find anyone in Chicago or London using a Japanese phone like a Panasonic, a Sharp or an NEC. Despite years of dabbling in overseas markets, Japan’s handset makers have little presence beyond the country’s shores.

“Japan is years ahead in any innovation. But it hasn’t been able to get business out of it,” said Gerhard Fasol, president of the Tokyo-based IT consulting firm, Eurotechnology Japan.

The Japanese have a name for their problem: Galápagos syndrome.

Yet Japan’s lack of global clout is all the more surprising because its cellphones set the pace in almost every industry innovation: e-mail capabilities in 1999, camera phones in 2000, third-generation networks in 2001, full music downloads in 2002, electronic payments in 2004 and digital TV in 2005.

The villages just over the bridge, as you drive east to Khong Jiam along Rte 2222, are famed for forging iron and bronze gongs, both for temples and classical Thai-music ensembles. You can watch the gong-makers hammering the flat metal discs and tempering them in rustic fires at many houses and simple roadside shelters. Small gongs start at around 500B and the huge 2m gongs fetch as much as 200, 000B. People make many drums and cymbals around here too.

Bilingual babies are precocious decision-makers

Bilingual babies are precocious decision-makers

WHETHER to teach young children a second language is disputed among teachers, researchers and pushy parents. On the one hand, acquiring a new tongue is said to be far easier when young. On the other, teachers complain that children whose parents speak a language at home that is different from the one used in the classroom sometimes struggle in their lessons and are slower to reach linguistic milestones. Would 15-month-old Tarquin, they wonder, not be better off going to music classes?

A study j

some aspects of the cognitive development of infants raised in a bilingual household must be undergoing acceleration in order to manage which of the two languages they are dealing with

The aspect of cognition in question is part of what is termed the brain’s “executive function”. This allows people to organise, plan, prioritise activity, shift their attention from one thing to another and suppress habitual responses.

We are the music makers,

And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

And sitting by desolate streams;—

World-losers and world-forsakers,

On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers

Of the world for ever, it seems.

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge has tossed out a lawsuit accusing the makers of "The Family Guy" of illegally twisting the song "When You Wish Upon a Star" into an anti-Semitic ballad.

Manhattan federal Judge Deborah Batts says Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., Fox Broadcasting Co. and the Cartoon Network were within their rights to spoof the song in an episode of "The Family Guy." The episode first aired in 2003.

Music publishing house Bourne Co. sued the companies to try to stop distribution of the episode. It was titled "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" and relied on the premise that the main character had to hire a Jewish person to care for his family finances.

The judge said Bourne's copyright does not protect it from parody.

Rowe Jukebox Mfg. Leaves Michigan for Mexico

clipper's remarks: A century of history goes south with it.

Clip Source: www.newsvine.com

Rowe International Corp. says it will move the production of its jukeboxes to Mexico after nearly a century of making them in Grand Rapids, Mich.

This is a 1948 Model "B" at Rowe International's jukebox museum

The iconic music-machine maker told about 100 factory workers on Thursday that the change will take place in August.

Rowe, one of the largest makers of commercial and residential coin-operated jukeboxes, was founded in Chicago in 1909 and moved its headquarters a few years later to Grand Rapids, where more than 1 million of the machines have been made. A St. Louis-based private equity firm owns the company.

Rowe plans to keep about 70 administrative positions in engineering, sales and accounting in Grand Rapids.

"The downturn in the economy became too much, and we'd done all we could do to keep the company viable here,"

Production will be transferred to a facility in Reynosa, Mexico, near the Texas border. Some Grand Rapids employees will be offered jobs there,

clipper's remarks: Air-o-Matic says its app, "Pull My Finger" has a unique brand identity that its competitor has infringed. It wants $50,000 from Infomedia to settle the dispute and may sue in federal court.

In a formal complaint filed in a Denver, Colorado, federal court, however, InfoMedia says the phrase is a common "descriptive" term used in its advertising and cannot be trademarked.

The company wants a judge to step in now, before any lawsuit is filed, and allow it to continue to use the phrase.

'Pull My Finger' subject of court fight

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- First came the iPhone. Then, there was the "iFart" flatulence noise download. Now, there's "Pull My Finger" -- and next could come the lawsuits.

A Florida-based company has accused a Colorado competitor in federal court of trademark infringement and unfair business practices over the phrase "Pull My Finger."

The dispute began after the makers of iFart began using phrase "pull my finger" in advertisements for their products.

Air-o-Matic, based in Jacksonville, Florida, and Colorado-based InfoMedia, Inc., both offer a range of competing software applications, or "apps," that subscribers can download into their multitasking cell phones. Users can make calls, listen to music, browse the Internet and play games on the devices.

Individual "apps" cost a dollar and up, and can be used to get directions, read restaurant reviews and make funny noises. Enter the flatulence sound app, which both companies offer to customers.

EMI Music Publishing has promoted Kenny McGoff to head up its A&R function as senior vice president, head of A&R.

McGoff, formerly A&R manager, will report to EMI Music Publishing UK president Guy Moot, and will continue to be based in London.

McGoff’s signings over his eight years at EMI Publishing include Arctic Monkeys, The Enemy, The Feeling, the Fratellis, Kasabian, Paul Epworth, Reverend & The Makers, Scouting For Girls and The Zutons.

Moot says, “Kenny has a winning ethic, and a unique ability to nurture and develop songwriters. That ability to connect with writers is reflected in a record of signings that would be the envy of any A&R in the country. His passion and enthusiasm is infectious, and I’m sure that these qualities will enable him to be a real success in his new role.”
