- U2
- This record is perhaps U2's finest hour, yet it has been forgotten as a strange by-product of the ZooTV tour's overload, and is generally regarded by most fans as a poor effort. It is this sentiment t
- Fantomas
Mike Patton may well be one of the hardest working men in showbiz these days, and his latest with Fantômas underscores just about how far out he is willing to travel.

- We all know it, right? Well, ya just gotta have it. 2112 finally showed Rush out on their own, doing their own thing, and doing it well, IMHO.

Mobile Safari: Quick Domain Suffixes
Sunday, August 10th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Enter the URL for a Web site you want to visit in Mobile Safari on the iPhone or iPod touch, and your handheld dutifully sends you to the appropriate page even if you didn’t enter a domain suffix like .com. If you need to enter a complete URL, the domain suffix key automatically adds .com to addresses for you -- and you have to type out other suffixes, like .net, as long as you can manage some basic finger dexterity.
To add a domain suffix other than .com to a URL, just tap and hold the domain suffix key and a fly-out menu will appear after a second or two that contains the .net, .edu and .org domain suffixes. Slide your finger to the domain suffix you need and then lift your finger.
 Tap and hold .com to pick other domain suffixes. |

I use this to add domain suffixes when I am entering URLs with paths to specific places on a Web site. For example, entering apple.com/iphone in Mobile Safari’s Web address field takes me to Apple’s Web page for the iPhone.
As handy as this trick is, it isn’t available unless your iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPod touch is running software version 2.0 or higher.
