The word "genius" gets thrown around a lot in reference to artists and musicians — sometimes correctly, sometimes a little overzealously. But if it applies to anyone, it's Django Reinhardt.

When was the last time you scheduled a meeting and invited eight people instead of the three people who really needed to be there simply because you didn't want anyone to feel left out?
...
When was the last time you got into a long discussion over the color palette for the new brochure with a programmer, who has nothing to do with the brochure but sure knows that he doesn't like orange?
These are symptoms of a common illness: too much communication.
But from a practical standpoint, whether Apple is rooting for Bing to succeed or not, and regardless whether Apple has any actual intention of perhaps switching to Bing as the default search provider for MobileSafari and Safari, Apple almost has to discuss such a potential deal with Microsoft. Even if what Apple ultimately wants is to stick with Google as their default search provider, how can Apple negotiate the best possible terms from Google if they don’t have any other option? (It strikes me as very likely that even if Google remains the default search engine for iPhone OS, Bing will replace Yahoo as the second choice, which you can toggle in the Settings app.)
Apple may come off at times as a bit soulless, but at least they've got class. And when that class allows them to sell more products that make happier customers, I'll take class over flash every time.
Adrian Legg
Thursday, March 18th at 7pmSince the 1990 release of his first U.S. recording Guitars and Other Cathedrals , Adrian Legg has more than lived up to the expectations stirred by an ongoing avalanche of praise from critics, fans, top guitar mags and peers alike. Joe Satriani once said, "He's simply the best acoustic guitar player I've ever heard...he plays like he has hammers for fingers." The genius that the Boston Globe has called "technical brilliance paired with a troubadour's tale-weaving skill" led him from 1993-96 to be voted Best Fingerstyle Guitarist four years straight by the readers of Guitar Player magazine.
Tickets: $25.00
I highly recommend this show. Adrian Legg is an interesting and Phenomenal player.
OK, this is not all the cable boxes in the house, just all of the boxes in the bedrooms. Most of the credit goes to the internet while sites like Hulu.co and devices like the Slingbox (slingbox.com) are also key.
