Sean “Jay-Z” Carter Buys Aspiro The Parent Company of Tidal

Jay-z said in his some “30 Something” I don’t buy out the bar, I bought the night spot. That was his way of letting people know that he is not to be typecast into being anything but a money making machine. However no one said it better than Jay-Z himself on the song “Diamonds From Sierra Leone Remix” when he said I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man. He has constantly proven that he is to be taken seriously as in the business world. He has worked out deals with Samsung, Ace of Spades and now Aspiro AB. Aspiro AB is the parent company of Tidal. Tidal is a music streaming service that prides itself on being one of the first music streaming service that combined the high fidelity sound quality and HD music videos all curated.

The Norwegian company’s reviewing board has already reviewed the deal and is advising its shareholders to accept the offer. Sean Carter placed a bid of 464 million Krona (roughly $56 million) for the company. The deal breaks down as follows;

Jay-Z owns S. Carter Enterprises
S. Carter Enterprises owns Project Panther
Project Panther put in the bid for Aspiro of $56 Million
Aspiro owns Tidal and its reviewing board approves of deal

#ICYMI FAA’s Declares Super Bowl No Fly Zone for Drones

#FAA’s Declares Super Bowl No Fly Zone for Drones. That’s right folks the Federal Aviation Administration is declaring that the Super Bowl will be a “no drone zone.” I do wonder however if that will just be for the public. I mean is the official beer of the NFL wants to air footage would anyone stop them? How about if ESPN wants some stock footage for a segment? What is crazy is that “no drone zone” is bigger than the city of Phoenix. The whole zone is 60 miles wide.

Some aviation aircraft, media, banner towers, blimps and unmanned aircraft will have permission to fly in the zone. Drones of any shape or size won’t be allowed in the zone at all. To get an idea of what the size of the zone looks, take a gander below.

Something similar happened after a drunk government employee flew his Phantom 2 drone onto the White House lawn. DJI the makers of Phantom 2 setup a 30-mile no fly zone radius around Washington DC. The company did this via a mandatory update. Although not as large as 60 miles it does have the same impact. If the same 60 mile zone was there it would reach Baltimore.

A Letter from Uber Encouraging you to #THINKANDRIDE

You may have gotten a letter from Uber encouraging you to #THINKANDRID. I got this email this morning. Not sure if they are doing this to get some good PR but it is a good cause. I know Uber has a bad rap but I had to share this with you.

MADD which stands for Mothers Against Drunk Driving has teamed up with the service. Uber will donate $1 to MADD for every trip taken on Sunday, February 1, 2015 between 3:00 PM and 12:00 AM ET when riders enter the promo code THINKANDRIDE. The email is as follows;

Rubens,

Ridesharing helps make cities safer. A new study we conducted with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) shows just how powerful choice can be: Since we launched uberX in California, drunk-driving crashes decreased by 60 per month for drivers under 30. That’s 1,800 crashes likely prevented over the past 2 ½ years.

When empowered with more safe, reliable and affordable transportation options like Uber, people are making better, smarter choices that are making our roads safer for everyone. Learn more on our blog.

To promote safe rides home during the weekend of the Big Game, Uber will donate $1 to MADD for every trip taken on Sunday, February 1, 2015 between 3:00 PM and 12:00 AM ET when riders enter the promo code THINKANDRIDE.

Uber and MADD will keep working to ensure a safe ride is always within reach and drunk driving crashes become a thing of the past.
