- Pink Floyd
- Okay, someone had to say it, and though others on the iPO staff are more qualified to review this album, I decided the time was now. This is the quintessential concept album. Though others came before

The Life Pursuit is a sort of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. You get Belle & Sebastian's peanut butter (its wistful, often irresistible pop) dipped in a 'Have A Nice Day!' and glam 70s chocol

The Secret Machines' inaugural album, Now Here is Nowhere is both old and new in its sonic assault. The trio's surprisingly big sound evokes Pink Floyd (without ever sounding like any Pink

Verizon CEO Has Sharp Words for Apple and Jobs
Thursday, June 26th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Verizon chairman and chief executive Ivan Seidenberg had some sharp comments to make about Apple and Steve Jobs in his interview with the Financial Times on Friday. [Subscription may be required.]
The principal focus of the interview was whether, with telco consolidation, his own company might get swallowed up some day, perhaps by Vodaphone -- a current partner.
"Were not for sale," he said in his interview the Financial Times. "And in case you didnt get that the first time, were not for sale. OK?"
Recently, Verizon bought Alltel, the fifth largest U.S. wireless company in the U.S., propelling its customer base of 80 million customers just above AT&Ts.
During the interview, Mr. Seidenberg turned his attention to Apple and noted that while its a great company, Apple still has a very small share of worldwide mobile phone sales. Asked about whether the new price of the iPhone 3G would turn it into a mass-market winner, he scoffed: "There goes the conspiracy again," he said. "Youre declaring them a winner before theyve earned it on the field."
The Verizon CEO also stated that Apple has no monopoly on innovations. There are all kinds of possibilities for disruptive nature of the smartphone, and hes bullish on Verizons future. "Its very cool," he said. "And Steve Jobs eventually will get old ... I like our chances."
