Need a last minute Christmas gift? How about a $12,000 3D printed gun? | Computerworld ... - 0 views

  •  
    While 12K is very pricey for a M1911 pistol, the buyer would be paying for the novelty. These limited edition pistols are printed by 3-D printers. Also of note, unlike many other printed guns, these printed models seem to work well having survived thousands of test fire round.

Why so many digital publishers are flocking back to print | Digiday - 0 views

  • Publishers are leaning heavily on the idea that these are “premium” magazines, with deep reporting and full-page photos. Music reviews site Pitchfork even hopes that printing its quarterly magazine’s long-form features and illustrations on high-quality paper stock will encourage readers to collect them just as they collect vinyl records.
  • ather than eye the big general-interest numbers of Time and Rolling Stone, digital publishers are creating their magazines with lower circulations and content aimed at more niche audiences.
  • Most media companies have historically treated magazines as loss leaders, selling them for cheap in the hopes of building the sort of big circulation numbers

  • That’s not the model that these digital publishers are following. Rather than sell the magazines for cheap, Pitchfork is asking for $50 a year (or $20 an issue).

How to Write When You're Not a Writer - 0 views

  • The content on your website doesn’t need to appeal to a broad audience like print media does. It also doesn’t need to be on a broad topic. Quite the opposite, actually. Your website and social media content will be quite specific. And what’s more, unlike print media if you do make a mistake it only takes moments to correct. What’s not to love about that?
  • web content is also more conversational. Content is written to feel personal – as if you’re speaking directly to your audience

The music industry is still screwed: Why Spotify, Amazon and iTunes can't save musical ... - 0 views

  •  
    See the thing is that people like coulton, ebel, etc., are figuring it out.  The scribes bought the printing press in this case.  Yeah, it is gonna be harder with the labels into the streaming services but the model is more like the reznor model by the indies and not what the labels are actually doing. I think that this puts too much emphasis on streaming.  The radio industry is going to die when streaming gets into our cars.  ANYONE can set up a stream.

  • Unless they see the value of joining your list, they simply won’t invest any of those valuable minutes in you and your blog.
  • Do something for me and I’ll do something for you. In this case, the bribe is “give me your email address and I’ll give you something that isn’t freely available on my blog.”

  • Minimum requirements: A word processor like Microsoft Word, Apple Pages or OpenOffice Writer is sufficient for creating a simple cheat sheet, but for a more sophisticated end product, you might require a desktop publishing package such as Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Publisher, or QuarkXPress. Alternatively, you can use a cheat sheet tool like Cheatography to generate cheat sheets based on a default template.
  • Minimum requirements: Your chosen word processor is enough to create a basic template, but to make it even more visually appealing, consider using some simple design elements such as colors, backgrounds and borders. If the template is meant to be printed, you can convert your .docx or .pages file into a downloadable PDF for your readers’ convenience.
