I saw this one when doing a bit of Christmas music maintenance in the Finder. As soon as I’d snapped the screenshot, it was gone.
I know there must be a clever one-liner for this.. “Heavenly States,” music playing backward, Santa, Devils…
Steve Jobs: This is the funnest iPod ever.
Jason Snell: And a million English teachers weep openly.
An odd mistake on the PR wire today. Apparently Bloomberg updated the Steve Jobs obituary and sent the article out to subscribers. Keeping obits ready in advance is a pretty common practice, but these are rarely seen outside of the editorial desk.
Gawker posts the piece in its entirety.
This “upskirt” warning poster was captured in a subway station just outside of Tokyo by Jeff Epp. “Trains in Japan are pretty notorious for this kind of behaviour.”

According to Saul Hansell at the New York Times today, Apple is set to launch some new iPhone music initiatives and to redefine Ringbacks as “Answer Tones.”

He’s hooked and doesn’t even know how hooked he’ll be.
I was shocked to see that McDonald’s has a corporate podcast. Unsurprisingly, the series is called: “The McDonald’s You Don’t Know.”
The scintillating topics include such favorites as:
- Less Is More: Sustainable Packaging at McDonald’s
- JPMorgan Conference Webcast
- Well Seasoned: In the Ktichen with Chef Dan Coudreaut (Yes, they have a typo)
I’m McLovin it!
