- Alanis Morissette
- Ten years after the original release, comes the traditional celebratory acoustic re-recording. The album has held up remarkably well. While it is not as meaningful to me as it was when I was sixteen,

Black Sabbath, The White Stripes, The Stooges. There aren't many bands worth their salt that want to be compared to other bands, but when I listen to Wolfmother's self-titled American debut, I can

- The Redwalls
- Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture
- Massive Attack
"Black Milk" knocks me off my feet in this collection of moody and eclectic songs. Massive Attack uses samples and keyboards in a very unique way, but not all the songs pack the same punch.

The iPhone Mom Test and One More Thing
Sunday, June 24th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
One consideration for the iPhone’s mass appeal is whether it can pass the Mom test. In addition, there might still be a surprise coming along with the iPhone on June 29th, according to ITWire.
The mastery of the iPhone will come at different levels by different users. Apple certainly makes it look as if the iPhone will be incredibly easy to use. Even so, the real acid test for mass appeal, will be the Mom test. (Or "Mum" test for those outside North America.) "I�d love to get her an iPhone, load it up with music, videos and photos, show her how to use it and to see just how quickly she picks it up," Alex Zaharov-Reutt wrote.
Also, the idea that Apple and Steve Jobs may have Just One More Thing up their sleeve on opening day can’t be discounted. The author mused, "If it transpired that, at 6:00 PM when the iPhone officially goes on sale, there is one more massive feature that Steve Jobs kept ’til the very end, it would certainly be the ultimate ’one more thing’."
It would indeed. That could propel the iPhone opening day into legendary status.
