- Goldfrapp
On their latest CD, Supernature, Goldfrapp has put together a successful mix of 1980-era New Romanticism, German cabaret, and T. Rex glam that leaves you riveted even through the album's lulls. It's a great amalgam that sounds current without sounding at all dated.

MacOS iPhone Brings System 7 to the iPhone
Monday, March 2nd, 2009 at 1:03 PM - by Jeff Gamet
The iPhone can do more than make phone calls and play music, and thanks to the efforts of the MacOS Project, now it can run Apple's venerable System 7, too. The project is still a work in progress, but the group has been able to get a working desktop and can even run classic applications such as MacDraw.
The group used code from the Qemu Project to get off the ground, and now are able to run MacPaint and the Calculator, along with MacDraw. In true retro Mac goodness, the "About This Macintosh" window even shows that Mac OS 7 is running on a Macintosh Plus.
Since this is a hack, don't expect to see Mac OS 7 available at the App Store, and the group still has some work to do -- especially since "shutting down" System 7 crashes your iPhone. MacOS iPhone isn't available for download yet, but the group hopes to be releasing their code soon.
[Thanks to Softpedia for the heads up.]
