You really can see the class of the store you're shopping at by the way the cashier gives you back your change. The poor gives you the paper money and then the coins on top. The rich always do the opposite.

“Web 2.0 signaled a "V-day" shift of control from company to customer, where increasingly powerful virtual environments and social networking communities proliferate. While traditional wisdom has focused on customer identification for one-to-one targeted marketing campaigns, cross-selling and so on, the reality of Generation V (Generation Virtual) members using multiple personae (e.g., Amazon reviewer, eBay seller, Second Life avatar "World of Warcraft" blood elf, digger, blogger, YouTuber), and the sheer power of their growing influence, means that customers will have a host of online personae driving your business relationship.Discovering customers' true identities becomes irrelevant."

DEFINITION OF A CELEBRITY

While universal fame might seem to be an unachievable goal, it is important to distinguish between an individual's being recognized for a specific accomplishment and mere celebrity. With regard to the latter, Daniel J. Boorstin noted that "a celebrity is a person known for his well-knownness." Clearly, universal fame requires only meeting the Boorstin standard of well-knownness. The current exemplar of such celebrity is Paris Hilton. (To be fair, Ms. Hilton is young and could well achieve something of note in years to come.)

“When you're interested in somebody and you think they might be interested in you, you should point out all your beauty problems and defects right away rather than take a chance they won't notice them. Maybe, say, you have a permanent beauty problem you can't change such as too-short legs. Just say it.“ My legs as you've probably noticed are much to short in proportion to the rest of my body". Why give the other person the satisfaction of discoverig it for themselves?".

“The good news about "Hard Candy" is that "4 Minutes" is one of only two or three misfires on a fascinatingly mainstream big pop album. It's the sort of widely appealing album that Madonna hasn't really made since the 1980s, and it's one of her most immediately pleasing in years upon first listen. Void of quasi-political message songs or vaguely confessional lyrics — which hung like millstones around "American Life" and portions of "Confessions on a Dance Floor" — "Hard Candy" is the dance-and-feel-good-about-who-you-are Madonna of "Get Into the Groove."

WHAT'S YOUR BRAND?

But it is especially easy to understand why Murakami is often referred to as the Andy Warhol of Japan. Along with his Kool-Aid hues and preoccupation with pop, he fools around with notions of branding.

Tamiya is a well-known Japanese producer of scale models and toys whose logo consists of two white stars in front of red and blue blocks. With Signboard Tamiya, Murakami applies a red-hot iron to the plywood, which yields a "branded" effect. The follow-up is Signboard Takashi, in which he substitutes in his name, changes the block colours to yellow and green, and does not apply the branding iron. Note that Tamiya's slogan is "First in Quality Around the World."

The outcome of a lawsuit filed by artist Robert Rauschenberg could send shudders through artists working on canvas or behind the shutter. Art experts, attorneys and law professors are watching to see if new law will emerge from the case. Rauschenberg alleges Naples artist Robert Fontaine took work from his trash and sold it fraudulently under Rauschenberg's name. The work is not authentic and should be returned and destroyed, Rauschenberg says.The case is groundbreaking because there is no legal precedent. At stake is the ability of artists to define what is their authentic or inauthentic work, and whether an artist maintains creative ownership of work he considered unfinished or unusable.

SHAMELESS

“There’s never been an artist who was more open about his commercial intentions. The year after he did the “Ten Portraits” he did a series of dollar signs, and he constantly talked about his intentions to sell his work for the best price he could find. What’s unusual about Warhol is not that he had those desires — because I think that many artists do — but that he spoke so frankly and openly about them. He was shameless: He didn’t think that it was something that needed to be disguised in the name of polite taste. If you look at Jeff Koons or Damien Hirst or Takashi Murakami — with his Louis Vuitton store in the middle of his exhibition — or any number of artists now, they’re also very open. That seems very Warholian to me."

Nowadays Takashi Murakami claims that the historical gap between high and low culture have never been so narrow. He refers to that as a kind of new superflat culture. In the pre Renaissance era artisans became artists. In one sense this new superflat culture annonces the growing trend of the future where artists will once again be known mainly as artisans.

“Problems paying the mortgage, filling the gas tank and feeding the family have eroded living standards for millions of Americans during the past several months. Not so for people who manage big piles of money; many of them made a fortune betting correctly on the housing debacle and rising commodity prices last year. Our second annual look at the pay of folks who run hedge and private equity funds shows that the top 20 took home a collective $18.7 billion last year, 43% more than in 2006. To even make the list you needed minimum earnings of $350 million, which is $90 million higher than the year before. No chief executive of a traditional Wall Street investment bank came even close."

Girls get better grades than boys and are much more likely than boys to graduate high school and enter college. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, women earn 60% of all bachelor's degrees and 60% of all master's degrees. That adult men are "privileged" over women is also questionable.

"Warhol also used Richard to recruit "cute  friends" to take part in the creation of the oxidation paintings.  "Andy would watch. He didn't touch himself, but he did this moaning.  'Oh!…Oh!…' It was like he was having an orgasm while he watched us. "Or at least faking one.

  ”Now it’s scientifically proven: we really do enjoy expensive things more. In an experiment conducted by Antonio Rangel at the California Institute of Technology, the brains of 20 volunteers were scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging while they tasted five different wines costing $5 to $90 a bottle. But Rangel fibbed, telling them that the cheap wine was the most expensive, or giving the same price to two different wines. The scanner showed consistently that the flow of blood to the part of the brain that registers pleasure, the medial orbitofrontal cortex, increased when the price was declared to be high, not according to the quality of the wine. In case this got attributed simply to the ignorant palates of the volunteers, Rangel repeated the experiment with members of the Stanford University wine club and got widely similar results."

In bringing an urban American art form to Seoul, Paris, and Capetown, Flashdance planted the seeds of a subculture all over the map.
