Back on track

By BILL REYNOLDS

-- Bob Dylan At the Molson Amphitheatrein Toronto on FridayBob Dylan has written innumerable songs, but few remain as timely as All Along the Watchtower from his 1967 folk record of religious allegories, John Wesley Harding. Dressed like the Hank Williams of popular song, the reinvigorated bard of American music and his crack band ended their performance on Friday night with guitars ablaze, nodding to the song's popular 1968 version by Jimi Hendrix.  FULL STORY [The Globe and Mail: Arts]

Sony, Apple make phone dream team. ... but 'iPhone' unlikely [The Register]'No, the future points to close collaboration between SonyEricsson and Apple, with a slim outside chance of Apple rebadging one particular SonyEricsson device. But we'll explain how we arrive at this conclusion.No, the future points to close collaboration between SonyEricsson and Apple, with a slim outside chance of Apple rebadging one particular SonyEricsson device. But we'll explain how we arrive at this conclusion.'

Not as exciting but much more practical/realistic. Still good news . . . if it's true.

Had a great time at the Fillmore last night and saw The Tragically Hip. The Hip are a great Canadian band and were able to draw together a bunch of Canadians and their friends (including some of the guys on the QuickTime team) from the bay area. It was a really great show!

On a side note, my 20GB iPod proved itself big time. For the last couple of weeks, I've been able to saturate myself with the Hip with all of their music with me all the time - from my stereo at home, my car, office and everywhere else I happened to be. Wow. [Ken Bereskin's Radio Weblog]

Apple's Chief in the Risky Land of the Handhelds. It has long been Silicon Valley's favorite guessing game: What is Steven P. Jobs going to do next? Some insiders are predicting "the iPhone." By John Markoff. [New York Times: Technology]

Out-of-It Eyebrow Lift Gives Apple a Superstar. Apple Computer has a new star on its hands. She is Ellen Feiss, a slow-talking teenager whose laconic patois has the Internet buzzing. By John Schwartz. [New York Times: Technology]' Other fans simply debate whether her delivery suggests that she is, to put it bluntly, drugged, claiming that her speech is slightly slurred and she seems more out of it than simply being a teenager would account for.

Among the Feiss sites, some have digitally altered images from the ad to include takeoffs on Apple slogans, including "Think stoned."'

From the Baltimore Chronicle: "Go get your ten-billionth burger, America. Fatten your already fat asses with bacteria-and-hormone-ridden meat and do nothing as you sit stupefied before your mind-numbing television sets awaiting the next episode of sad families being humiliated on "Cops."

This article was published over a week ago, but I hadn't heard of, or seen it yet. If only 10% of it is true, then we should be very afraid. Deep in my gut, I feel W.R. McDougall has hit it all squarely on the nose. Time for action America! [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]

Holy crap. When I read this on Adam's site I thought, 'man, that sounds like something we Canucks think about Americans but are too polite to say out loud.' So I go to the site and I see that in fact it is 'Open Letter to America from a Canadian'! Ooh la la. I agree with the main thrust of the letter but that lad does seem a little over the top in his paranoia.
