Podcast Heaven and the iTunes Model Revisted
I finally started adding my music library to iTunes yesterday and noticed that there were a few beloved albums I had to have.

I’ve been in a lot of discussions recently with other authors and a few game designers about pricing. Over and over again, I hear comparisons to the iTunes model or whatever Amazon is doing. If “free” is not the golden calf, then ninety-nine cents is the deal of the decade. From my perspective, pricing right […]
