When my daughter was growing up, she always talked to her dolls, toys, and other things she played with. I'm just guessing here, but she seemed to know that they talked back.

Attached to: Microsoft Windows Media Player Stops Serving Up CD Album Info
I have two PC's and both have a BD player attached. I purchase quite a few CD's from Japan as I discovered that they have some of the best rock/metal bands around and they all still release CD's. Here's a short summary (google generated) but accurate from other sources:
"CDs remain very popular in Japan and a significant part of the music market, despite the global trend towards streaming services. One major reason is the aggressive marketing strategies employed by record labels, which bundle CDs with perks such as concert ticket vouchers and invitations to meet-and-greet events."
I buy probably 10-15 each year and use MediaMonkey to rip the CD's to disk so I use the track name information, which last I checked (back in November) still works and I don't know for sure, but I don't think MM uses WMP. I also use PowerDVD to watch BD disks for concerts but they use the WMP for the CD track info and it has to be an older version to work correctly. If M$ closes this service, I may have to change my use of PowerDVD.

Attached to: Corporate Profits Surge as Companies Cut Nearly 1 Million Jobs
Why isn't anyone talking about taxing the rich? Massachusetts passed a surtax (4%) on certain income over $1M in addition to the regular 5% tax in 2013. As far as I know, no millionaires left. From the 1940's to the 1980's the highest rate was around 90% decreasing to around 70% (then Reagan and Grover Norquist killed the idea of higher taxes on the ruling class and estate taxes that only affected estates over about $5M). This revenue provided for things like the Interstate Highway (1950's), helped build a strong middle class, unions created a strong income base for high school grads. We could also raise the FICA cap to fund SS forever. Claw back some of the billions, remember that of all the people in the US, billionaires make up approximately 0.00034%. From googlo - roughly 800 billionaires controlling 3.8% of the nation's wealth, which is more than the bottom half of the population combined.
