Karel Abraham Press Release: GP12 Is 999cc, Has 250HP And Top Speed Of 360 km/h

While Filippo Preziosi played his cards tantalizingly close to his chest at the Wrooom event, where Ducati launched their 2012 MotoGP challenger for the Marlboro Ducati factory team, satellite squad Cardion AB is being a lot more loose-lipped. Today, the team, which will be running Karel Abraham again in the MotoGP class, issued a press release full of some fascinating details about the satellite Ducati GP12 which Abraham will be racing this season. 

According to the press release, the bike produces 250 horsepower, 15 hp up from the 800cc GP11 Abraham raced in 2011. Top speed is up also, from 340 km/h for the 800cc GP11 to 360 km/h (or nearly 225 mph) for the GP12. Both numbers are in the region expected, though numbers released through the factories tend to be intentionally inaccurate. Whether factory numbers are optimistic or pessimistic - and by how much - is left very much to the imagination of the reader.

People Are Actually Paying For Spotify After All

When Spotify first launched in the U.S. over the summer, few doubted that the service would be popular among music fans. The real question has always been whether the company's freemium business model would manage to convert enough users to paying subscribers. It's still relatively early, but so far things look promising.

More than 3 million people are now paying to use Spotify, according to the Financial Times. That's a conversion rate of more than 20%, a figure that has reportedly increased by 5% since the service hit 1 million users last year. In other words, not only is Spotify itself growing, but the rate at which people sign up for a premium or unlimited account is also increasing.

Sponsor

This overall growth has been fueled in no small part by the company's partnership with Facebook, which enables the kind of super-tight, frictionless integration that the social networking giant has been pushing since f8 last March. The flood of "so-and-so listened to such-and-such" news ticker updates may be too much for some people, but the partnership has succeeded in putting Spotify's brand and functionality in front of millions of potential new users.

It also doesn't hurt that the six-month window of unlimited, free streaming music for new users has begun coming to a close for the service's earliest U.S. adopters. As that happens, those who are truly hooked on the service are forced to either put up with listening caps or cough up $5 per month to remove them. The company hasn't said what percentage of those paid users have opted for the pricier "Premium" account, which allows for mobile streaming in addition to stripping out ads and listening caps.

This isn't to say that there aren't still major, outstanding questions about Spotify and the viability of the all-you-can-stream model it shares with the likes of Rdio and MOG. The music labels are evidently happy enough with the arrangement to stay on board for now, but the artists are a different story.

The streaming services pay out notoriously low royalty fees to artists, some of which have begun to question the value in being on the service. Sure, it's a great way to promote one's music, but it may not be economically advantageous for artists, especially if it ends up hurting record sales.

Have We Become the Soviet Union?

Question: What's the difference between a Soviet-era communist and a neoconservative? Answer: Very little, if anything, when it comes to foreign policy. The reason for this answer is that world domination is obviously the goal of the self-described "former" Trotskyites (advocates of permanent revolution) who took over the Republican Party during the Reagan years and [...]
