- 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,
- Chicago
For those of you who don't know, Chicago didn't always suck, and everyone in the band didn't always play a keyboard. When the band started off they were pioneers of rock and jazz fusion, and guita

Times Columnist Remembers Yesteryear’s Apple Death Knells
Wednesday, September 20th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
"Whether they stand alone or are acquired, Apple as we know it is cooked. It's so classic. It's so sad." So declared a research analyst quoted by The New York Times in January 1996 and remembered by Times columnist David Pogue in a Wednesday blog post.
"Nowadays," he wrote, "Apple is a media darling. The critics like the company's direction, and so does Wall Street." Ten years ago, however, current CEO Steve Jobs had not yet returned to the company, and the media was filled with predictions of the company's imminent demise. Fortune magazine even said in February 1996: "By the time you read this story, the quirky cult company...will end its wild ride as an independent enterprise."
How far the company has come since then. Read more in Mr. Pogue's blog. Thanks to Macworld UK for the link.
