URGE and iTunes
I got a chance to take a look at Vista Beta 2. While I'm not normally a guy that likes MS products. At first glance, Vista looks good. I could never forget what my wife said when I showed it to here, "That looks like Linux". What?

Hey! You got some emo in my hair-band.
I saw this band on MTV the other day, Coheed and Cambria. I'm really digging their sound. It's like Rush if they decided to dive into 80's hair metal. Many describe them as Emo Progressive rock. The lead singer looks/sounds like the illegitimate son of the ...
