After being pushed back a few times, production is finally finished on Lil Wayne’s Rebirth album, and it is ready to hit the stores. “Expect great music.

Not much rattles Apple. Disciplined and focused, the company lavishes attention on its own elegant products and rarely deigns to discuss rivals. Yet here was Tim Cook, Apple’s chief operating officer and designated stand-in for ailing CEO Steve Jobs, erupting during an earnings call in late January at the mere mention of a pip-squeak competitor. The pest in question was Palm, the fallen pioneer of handheld digital organizers, which two weeks earlier had unveiled a new smartphone, the Palm Pre, to rave reviews. Not only did the Pre have features the iPhone couldn’t match – snazzy multitasking, universal search, a… Read more »

The five are ready to become one and things couldn’t be more “spectacular.” That’s the word from Melanie “Sporty Spice” Chisholm, who on the eve of the Spice Girls reunion, broke down the hotly anticipated comeback for E! Online. It’s been seven years since the quintet was riding girl power to the top of the charts, but Chisholm says that aside from them all being in their 30s, she hasn’t seen too much change in Baby, Scary, Ginger and Posh Spice. (In non-Spice World that’s Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham, respectively.) In fact, their original Spice… Read more »
