Why the Betamax failed vs. VHS...despite being a better product
True, but vinyl sales have tripled over the last 5 years. Jack White just broke the record for most vinyl sales of a single record in one week. Neil Young's Pono will launch this year, making it the first true hi fi digital player. There is a shift happening. The CD will die and almost...- Magik

Finish My Book and Publish
PUBLISHINGI could probably do an entire post on it. The biggest thing I would do differently is make it a blind contest. Blind is where the other designers can't see what else has been submitted. That way, they don't know what they have to beat. I also think it is wiser to spend extra money and do a...- Magik

What Do I Do with all the Money I made?
HOT! INVESTINGIt's all a matter of opinion. To be truthful, a forum is a poor place to ask this kind of question. While I'm not an investment advisor, I'm no dumb a$$. That being said, do your homework before you make any emotional decisions (emotional decisions are the worst kind, almost always). My opinion...- Magik

Finish My Book and Publish
PUBLISHINGI've got a lot of stuff I'm working on. --My dad has been reading my book. I wanted to get his critique on it since he is a better writer than me and has read many more books than I have. He got 1/4 of the way through and his computer messed up. I am going to get his input on changes I should...- Magik

World Cup 2014 - Who are you picking?
OFF-TOPICThat comes from their coach. He's brings a winning mindset to the table. I understood exactly what he was doing when he said that the US would win against Ghana. He obviously can't know such a thing, but it's the psychology of belief at work. Sadly, I don't think they're going to have any magic...- Magik

World Cup 2014 - Who are you picking?
OFF-TOPICGood win for the US. We've got a shot at beating Portugal, but we have no chance against Germany. Germany definitely looked like the best team in the tournament.- Magik

World Cup 2014 - Who are you picking?
OFF-TOPICEngland and Italy both look way better than every other team I've seen so far. The Netherlands looked good, but I'm not sure how much of it was due to Spain's collapse.- Magik

[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!Yeah, I think those days are over. I prefer to not ever list a book as free and instead just spread my books to every outlet I can find. However, I'm contemplating the idea of giving people who sign up to my mailing list a free short story. I'll put a few different formats in a zip folder. Thus...- Magik

Im 19 and have $3,000+ saved up. Im split between spending it on fun or saving it for investing.
I don't think you should do either of those things. You should keep working a job and keep saving. I don't see you having the knowledge or maturity level right now to make anything happen (like the vast majority of 19 year old males). In the meantime, study. Read books, lots of books, starting...- Magik

World Cup 2014 - Who are you picking?
OFF-TOPICIsn't Spain supposed to be the best defensive team in the tournament? They got their collective asses handed to them, and it was almost 6-1. Spain's worst loss since 1950.- Magik

I Have Decided That I'm Moving...
HOT! MINDSETMy overall opinion is a place is whatever you make it to be. If you're looking for all the negatives in a city, you'll find them. If you're looking for all the positives, you'll find them too. Anyone who's lived in a particular city could give you a list of positives and negatives. That includes...- Magik

I Have Decided That I'm Moving...
HOT! MINDSETI have been there three times. I know a lot about it. I know they have a .50 gasoline tax, I know their state income tax tops out at 13.3%, I know there are more people per capita on welfare and disability than any other state, I know they have a high unemployment rate. Certain areas have lots...- Magik

How bad is California really?
HOT!If you're referring to wild flowers, a better comparison would be California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington (or Arizona). If you're not, then I have no idea, unless you mean really high state income taxes.- Magik

Central/South America has so many growing economies: Panama, Brazil, Ecuador, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica. That is a part of the long-term strategy, but I don't think I'm there yet. Plus I have a dog, and...- Magik

How bad is California really?
HOT!Yeah, just looking for somewhere different. I've lived in Nashville, TN for 10 years, and I'm tired of it. However, Nashville is growing like crazy- people are leaving CA for here, including large companies. It will be the next Austin, it's headed in that direction for sure. The problem (and...- Magik

What Color Ferrari Should I Buy? (I Have Twenty Bucks)
GOLD! MINDSETPart of the reason for this is The Fear of Failure. I know we talk a lot about entitlement around here, but people are deathly afraid of failing, which is a huge reason for this mentality. People are so afraid they are going to wind up homeless, or bankrupt, or lose their house, or their...- Magik
