As part of the Dell & Intel Presents Special Engagements concert series in Austin, Texas, Theophilus London took to the stage and among other songs, performed a remix to “I Stand Alone.” The Gigamesh Sunlight remix of his song that he performed was chosen by voters among other remixes. It was the first time TL performed said version of the song. His LP Timez Are Weird These Days is out now.
In one of the most unlikely collaborations in recent memory, Erick Sermon recruits [the voice of] Rozay for this new video “Ain’t Me.” The video looks real luxurious with plenty of chicks in bikini’s (most of them are washed though) and some cameos by Fred The Godson, Prodigy and Grafh. Nothing to brag about but hey, there’s always Def Squad’s El Nino LP.
The mastermind behind Apple’s ascension to being the trendsetters in the world of computer technology, Steve Jobs, has given his resignation as CEO of the company today. In a letter to the company he issued the following statement:
“I have always said that if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s C.E.O., I would be the first to let you know,” Mr. Jobs said in a letter released by the company. “Unfortunately, that day has come.”
Jobs will take on the position of Chairman of the Board which would be less demanding and hand over the CEO reigns to Tim Cook, the company’s current COO. Steve Jobs, a co-founder and two-time CEO of Apple has been dealing with some serious health issues due to his rare form of pancreatic cancer for some time, thus, the resignation is not especially surprising.
Following the news Apple’s stock dropped 7% (falling to $357 a share) but managed to rally 5 1/2% back upwards just a few hours ago after a succession plan for the company became apparent.Business analysts are saying that this was in fact the best time for Jobs to step down in order for an optimal transition that would lead the company to a bright future.
Jobs is certainly a titan of industry and we wish him the best of health in these tough times.

According to HHNM there has been a change in the plans for the WTT singles line up. As if The Throne’s album isn’t destined to win enough, Jay-Z and Kanye West will be releasing not one new single but two singles aimed at different demographics simultaneously. The firts, the sonically potent Hit-Boy produced “Niggas In Paris” aimed at the urban radio crown and the second, the Mr. Hudson assisted “Why I Love You” shooting for a Pop/Top 40 slot. This news is a change from the previously decided upon single “Lift Off” featuring Beyonce. It seems a lot of people had some lackluster comments about “Lift Off” whether they like the WTT album as a whole or not so this move seems like a smart one. Both songs will go for adds on radio starting September 13th.

This is a preview of an installment of The Next 48 Hours featuring the Game. While speaking with Power 106′s Big Boi Game reveals how his problems with Jay-Z began. The riffin’ stemmed from a comment that Hov made about new rappers not being able to maintain a long career and needing to find a new lane. Doesn’t seem like a legit reason to get sick at Hov to me but Game is one to take things to the chest and react irrationally. Anyway, Game’s The R.E.D. Album is in stores today.
Those that were on Twitter just before the Quake hit NYC and the Northeast will find this info especially interesting.
If you live in New York and were on Twitter about an hour ago, something like this probably happened to you: you read a tweet about an earthquake from someone in DC. Then, moments later, you felt it. Here’s why.
Basically, as XKCD explained some time back, the fiber signals that usher your beeps and bops over the internet move at a much, much faster rate than seismic waves. Which means that your quake-related texts, tweets, and emails can sprint to their targets faster than the quake itself, assuming your missives are traveling more than 100km.
