When you go to a Vegas nightclub, much like a New York or Berlin club, you expect the hippest and coolest layout in the world. Of course the drinks are going to be overpriced, but you are paying for atmosphere right. Well, this Vegas nightclub has outdone itself with the use of some cool interactive video/photo table tops.

Way back in the day I left the humble security of a large corporation to go to an up and coming startup named IUMA, which was a subsidiary of eMusic. Well, since that time, IUMA is no longer around, and eMusic has been scraping to stay alive. Apparantely, they are back with a vengeance though with a new business model and are now the “…#2 retailer of downloadable music behind the iTunes Music Store.” Below is an article about their rise and fall and rise again, and how they are letting users download music that is not protected with DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions, ie. you can put them on any music player you want. They mainly sell independent music, but it’s still impressive that they are doing so well. Of course, you are going to say I should have stayed with them, but they are now a private company (used to be about $2 on the Nasdaq when I joined), and have relocated their headquarters to NYC, so I don’t think I would have hung on anyways.
