from TechCrunch by Robin Wauters [France] Paris-based Deezer is not waiting for Spotify to expand into new territories and is moving forward with its own plans pretty quickly. The French startup recently raised $9.5 million (€6.5 million), bringing the total invested into the company to nearly $20 million, and today the company's launching its previously rumored premium offering and a couple of new products. Basically, the Deezer website, where users can listen to streaming music and create playlists, will remain free of charge while users who would like better sound quality (up to 320 kb/s) and no more advertisements can opt to pay €4.99 per month for Deezer HQ. The Premium offering (€9.99 / month) is the most interesting though, since it gives users the opportunity to download a full-fledged Adobe AIR desktop application and lets them gain access to their accounts through a wide range of mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPod Touch and multiple Android-run and Blackberry device

It is widely believed that voters will re-elect Michael Bloomberg for a third term as mayor of New York City on November 3. Although he faces many challenges, such as creating new jobs, reducing poverty, and stabilizing one of the world’s most vital economies, Bloomberg’s financial expertise and dedication to the city will ensure his continued success over the next four years.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 12.5 per cent on October 29, 1929. Many commentators at the time and later suggested that stocks had simply become overvalued; the subsequent crash a return to normalcy after an overdone equity rally. More realistically, investors were pricing in a very negative turn in the economic landscape that would enervate economies worldwide

Best Buy was in the news the other day for an oops. It offered a 52-inch HDTV that normally sells for $1,600 on its web site for $9.99. Eager web surfers gleefully pulled out their credit cards and placed orders. As word of the deal spread, Best Buy realized the mistake, quickly pulled the offer from the site and announced it would not honor the purchases. The company cited its web site terms and conditions, which reserve the right to "revoke offers or correct errors" even if a credit card has already been charged. Upset tweeters took over, and Best Buy came out with a black eye.
