With the annual Macworld Conference & Expo set to kickoff this week, you’re probably going to see Steve Jobs and Apple all over the news media. Apple will probably announce the launch of a cool new product and the gadget blogs will be all a buzz to weigh in on the latest news.
While thousands swarm the crowded Moscone Center in San Francisco like they do every year to hear Jobs’ keynote address, I invite you to take a look at one of his other speeches. It is his commencement address given to Stanford University in 2005. I love it because it is very inspirational and he is not trying to sell you on anything except hope. It is quite possibly the best speech I’ve ever heard Steve Jobs give.

The Best Speech I’ve Ever Heard Steve Jobs Give

Could $5 a month save the music industry?
The Songwriters Association of Canada proposes a $5 monthly fee on subscribers’ Internet bills that would make it legal to download music and hopefully save the failing music industry.
THE PROBLEM
Sales of CDs are down 20 per cent worldwide and 35 per cent in Canada, compared to 2006.
An estimated 1.6 billion music files are downloaded in Canada each year on "grey-market" peer-to-peer systems, representing $1.6 billion in lost revenue, using the iTunes price model of 99 cents per download.
