itwbennett writes "Internet radio service Pandora Media on Friday filed documents with the SEC for an initial public offering of common stock. In its S-1 filing, Pandora said it has more than 80 million registered users and a more than '50% share of all internet radio listening time among the top 20 stations and networks in the United States.' While Pandora said the 'number of shares to be offered and the price range for the offering have not yet been determined,' MarketWatch reports that the music service hopes to raise up to $100 million."

According to my Backblaze reports, I have 261 GB of raw files stored online. This is essentially my 2010 wedding work plus my family photos, etc.

These 260 G of photos are also stored locally on my file server. That gives each Raw file a minimum of 3 copies.

When I get the go ahead (ie. the person who contracts me ships the last album), I'll archive 2010 to an external drive, keep the best shots for my portfolio directory, and make space on my working drive for 2011.

Besides Backblaze, my personal photos are all uploaded as full size jpegs to Flickr, Backblaze, an external drive called "media" that comes between work and home. Seems robust enough.

3 Firms Confess To Fixing LCD Prices, Agree To Pay $585M Fine 417

Oldyeller89 writes "LG, Sharp, and Chunghwa Picture Tubes pleaded guilty to charges of price fixing in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. They fixed the prices on LCD screens used not only in their products but also in other products such as Apple's iPods. The three companies agreed to pay $585 million in fines. Perhaps this will cause the price of our TVs to drop?" The New York Times also has a story on the outcome of this case.

Also, besides using html, powerpoint is available in all the rooms with projection systems.. I know that i can Export etc, but still need office to test, tweak etc.. just my thoughts
