- 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.

iPO Quick Tip
iPhone: Web Surfing in Airplane Mode
Thursday, August 21st, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
The iPhones Airplane mode shuts off your handhelds built-in radios including cell service, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with a quick finger tap so you can watch movies and listen to music when you fly. If you are in a situation in the air or on the ground where you need just a Wi-Fi connection, Airplane mode comes in handy, too, and essentially lets you turn your iPhone into an iPod touch with a camera.
To shut off your iPhones cell phone reception and Bluetooth while leaving Wi-Fi active, do this:
- Tap Settings.
- Tap the Airplane Mode slider so it says ON.
- Now Tap Wi-Fi to show your Wi-Fi network settings.
- Tap the Wi-Fi slider so it says ON.
First, put your iPhone in Airplane Mode. |

I use these settings when Im podcasting and dont want to disrupt the recording with iPhone speaker buzz. Its also handy when Im at a location with Wi-Fi Internet access and dont want to be interrupted with phone calls.
Keep in mind that in-air Wi-Fi is still a new thing, so enabling Wi-Fi in an airplane could land you in hot water. Be sure to check with the flight crew ahead of time to make sure you can turn Wi-Fi on without getting in trouble.
