November 1998 â Audiogalaxy is created by Michael Merhej. Initially an FTP search engine, the Audiogalaxy Satellite P2P client would reach 1 million downloads in 2001. In May 2002, a suit by the RIAA would force Audiogalaxy to block sharing of illegal songs. In June 2002, Audiogalaxy would settle the suit for an undisclosed amount and make its services opt-in. In September 2002, Audiogalaxy would discontinue P2P services in favor of Rhapsody, a pay streaming service.
Younger workers average $24.74 per week on coffee while workers over 45 spend an average of $14.15 per week, a fairly dramatic difference. People under 35 grew up with Starbucks on every corner and are primed to spend a ridiculous amount on coffee drinks, especially specialty drinks.
Personally, I think that's enough cause for Starbucks to get a fire under their butt and make things right. We're already spending $4+ for a coffee, granted it's good, but still, $4, in this economy.'ve heard a lot of comments complaining about those customers who feel gypped because the guy with the $2 drip gets the same star point as he does for his $5 mocha. But I work on my computer at Starbucks and buy not only a $5 mocha, but go back for a $2 drip and later for a free refill, so I benefit all the way around.
