Steve Jobs steps down as CEO of Apple
This news saddens me: > “Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs resigned today as chief executive officer from Apple. His place at the top of the company will be taken by Tim Cook, previously Apple’s chief operating officer.” (from CNET) I hope he’s doing alright and is with us for many many years to come.

Bill Gates and Microsoft
I still don’t love Microsoft. I used to, actually, use Windows day in and day out, for years. But I am known to frown a the thought of sitting down and usingn Windows 7 or whatever it’s called these days. But isn’t Bill Gates awesome? After building Microsoft into a hugely successful bu...

The End of Free Will
Check out The End of Free Will(from Dilbert.com Blog: ** "First we need to define free will. In the past, I’ve defined it as the brain’s magical ability to make decisions independent of the physical laws of the universe. And since I don’t believe in magic, or souls, I conclude that free will doesn’t exist, at least by that limited definition. In my view, we’re just moist robots bumping around and imagining we have control." (from: **The End of Free Will) Dilbert Blog often has crazy excursions of fancy intellectual humor!

Spotify – genres?
Ok a few hours into it, I’ve located what looks like a major weakness in Spotify. One of the fun things about Rhapsody is discovering new music. What are the top albums in “Piano Jazz”. Had to look and look for a similar feature in Spotify. The closest I can find is to type this into the search box: genre:”piano jazz” Oy! And by the way, how am I supposed to know that “piano jazz” is a legitimate genre? Oh just look on this list. Whoops. Piano Jazz is not a real genre, so it doesn’t work. Any one know any tips?
