I'll wager no-one will be be able to sing/whistle/hum ANY of the tunes played during the event. Let alone, remember them in 5 years.

Ron sounds like Anton Ego minus the epiphany:

Anton Ego: In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more.

Let me rock you, chaka khan

Feel for you...

London as always been one of the best cities for live music festivals. Apple is looking to take the Entertainment industry for a major ride. While MS is struggling to come up with a plan on how to compete with Google for Internet Advertising Pennies. While is is quietly working a plan to capture the real money, the Entertainment dollars.

The apostrophe in the title is facing the wrong way.

ron you sound like my dad and he would be over eighty now.

Jun 03, 08 - 02:34 pm Comment from: Ron you're a wanker

now go listen to your Led Zeppelin LPs, or just turn on any radio station. They're aimed at idiots like you.

I don't hear anyone singing - or even whistling. Just a load of people with poor hearing.

No-one answered the comments, just spewed a lot of childish names. Sad.

Doctor Who's latest episode, The Silence in the Library, has several instances where an Apple keyboard (both the wireless and the wired versions) are seen and used in the access stations to the index. From the quick look I got, they're the english layout (natch) with a euro symbol. Apple and the BBC are not total strangers, at least in Wales....
