The Beatles - The End (lyrics)

This is the last verse from the last song from the last Beatles album. Pretty fitting...

Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.

Pink Floyd Wins Fight to Keep Its Albums Intact

Court case over whether its songs can be sold as individual downloads decided in band's favor

The sanctity of the album as a unified body of work might seem like a quaint concept these days, but yesterday Pink Floyd won the right to preserve it as part of a legal battle with its label, EMI.

England's Court of Appeal ruled that the group's songs cannot be sold individually without their permission, after Floyd's lawyers argued that the group's 1999 contract with EMI requires the label to sell its catalog only as complete albums, even in digital form.

At the moment, that right is either not in effect or is being exercised selectively: The majority of the group's songs are currently available individually on iTunes, although a number of them are not. The album-only songs are primarily longer tracks from early in the group's career, but two popular songs from the multi-platinum Dark Side of the Moon, "Time" and "Us and Them," are available only with the album, as are all three songs on 1977's Animals and much of 1975's Wish You Were Here.

The ruling is the latest stage in an ongoing dispute involving more than $15 million in allegedly unpaid royalties between the group and the troubled label. The ruling was made amid reports that Guy Hands' Terra Firma Group, which owns EMI, may give up control of EMI to Citigroup before the end of this year. In November a New York jury rejected a fraud case against Citigroup brought by Hands, in which he claimed the company misled him into overbidding when he purchased EMI in 2007.

Facebook Intern Is Smarter Than You, Creates Data Visualization Of World Friendships

via TechCrunch by Alexia Tsotsis on 12/13/10



Facebook engineering intern Paul Butler has created the stunning map of international human relationships above, using a ten million friend pair sample size from Facebook social graph data. His methodology?

“I defined weights for each pair of cities as a function of the Euclidean distance between them and the number of friends between them. Then I plotted lines between the pairs by weight, so that pairs of cities with the most friendships between them were drawn on top of the others. I used a color ramp from black to blue to white, with each line’s color depending on its weight. I also transformed some of the lines to wrap around the image, rather than spanning more than halfway around the world.”

Hey Google HR people, Paul Butler. That’s P-A-U-L-B-U-T-L-E-R. Touch base with him on Facebook and/or on LinkedIn here. You’re welcome.
