How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
- U2
U2's latest entry is a mostly underwhelming collection of songs that does very little to sound any different from its equally pedestrian predecessor, 2000's "All That You Can't Leave Behind." While

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 Damned
- Punk rock is mostly associated with three chords and a bad attitude, but the Damned were one of the few bands of the era bent on bringing musicianship and a good sense of humor to the scene. And while

iPhone: Time’s Top Gadget of 2007
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Time’s Top Ten Gadgets of 2007 list is out, and Apple’s iPhone trumped every gadget that rolled off the assembly line this year. Considering it was also Time’s invention of the year, the combination iPod and smart phone was in a good position to take this list, too.

Time said "The iPhone changed the way we think about how mobile media devices should look, feel and perform. The design is exceptional inside and out: It’s got a slick glass-and-stainless steel case and an elegant touch screen loaded with eye candy."
The only downside Time offered was that the iPhone is tied to AT&T’s cell network in the United States.
The iPhone was followed by the Nikon Coolpix S51c digital camera, Netgear’s SPH200W Wi-Fi Skype Phone, the Palm Centro, and the Sony Handycam HDR-CX7 in the top five. The rest of the top ten list included Samsung’s P2 media player, the Toshiba Portégé R500-S5004 laptop, the FlyTech Dragonfly, Iomega’s eGo Portable Hard Drive, and the Belkin N1 Vision Wi-Fi Router.
In November, Time named the iPhone the invention of the year. The handheld’s blend of form and functionality coupled with its user friendly interface won it the title and also set a new standard for other cell phone makers to match.
