"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

This is amusing.

Scientists in Barcelona, Spain, have created a new "tune technology" to accurately pinpoint which songs will be hits, using 22 variables, such as melody, beat, harmony and the distance between the singer and the microphone.

Researcher Mike McCready says the computer program is 93 percent successful in picking which songs become hits.


A guy I worked for in Singapore wrote a paper about being able to create a top ten band. He claimed he had an actual mathematical equation that whereby he could take a group of variables from all of the top 10 hits from the past year and use them to create a song that was a guaranteed number 1.
