INITIAL IPHONE RELEASE

This is a short documentary filmed back in 2007 by Casey Neistat but was never actually released to the general public. Casey felt it was fitting to release the documentary now as a sort of celebration of the great Steve Jobs life. The short video shows the build up to the release of the first iPhone and is a nice insightful little piece.

R.I.P. STEVE JOBS

So yesterday the announcement of the death of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs shook the world. Jobs was truly an innovator changing the world of technology, music and many other things in his short 56 year life. He brought us iTunes, iPods, Mac computers, iPads and these were only a few of the innovative products that he gave to the world. Jobs was a visionary who saw the future before we even knew it ourselves, he will forever be missed. R.I.P. the great Steve Jobs.

THE EFFECT OF DIGITAL MUSIC ON INDEPENDENT LABELS

Okay so I don't know how interesting this will be for people that actually read this blog but I recently completed my undergraduate thesis on the effect of digital music on indie labels, with an official title of 'Has the success of independent labels improved during the overall decline of record sales throughout the move to the digital era of music?' So in the next few days I am going to post some chapters from the thesis. Whether anyone will actually read it is another question entirely.

You can read the first chapter after the jump.
