I am Fred Wilson. This is my tumblog. I try to post a quote, a song, and a picture every day. Some days I actually do that. I also pull in links to some thing I do on the web to this tumblog . And I reblog the things I find on tumblr that I like. I hope you enjoy your visit.

“First: price. We work with all the major music companies, and all the independents. We’ve had one price for our songs, starting in April we’re creating three pricing tiers: 69c, 99c, and $1.29. We know a lot more songs will be offered at 69c than at 99c. The second thing we’re doing, is iTunes Plus. It’s how we offer music that’s completely DRM free. Starting today, we’re offering 8 million of our songs all DRM free. Big applause. By the end of this Q, all 10m songs on iTunes will be DRM free. Big applause! Dayumn! ALL SONGS will be DRM-FREE on iTunes.”

“consider the strange story of Harry Markopolos. Mr. Markopolos is the former investment officer with Rampart Investment Management in Boston who, for nine years, tried to explain to the Securities and Exchange Commission that Bernard L. Madoff couldn’t be anything other than a fraud. Mr. Madoff’s investment performance, given his stated strategy, was not merely improbable but mathematically impossible. And so, Mr. Markopolos reasoned, Bernard Madoff must be doing something other than what he said he was doing.”
