...fixated on the latest X-Scape knock-off and started playing "On & On" in heavy rotation. On the strength of her critically acclaimed, multi-platinum debut album Baduizm, she headlined this year's "Smokin Grooves" tour. Badu was christened the sole female (Adrina Evans anyone?) in the neo-funk pantheon along with D'Angelo, Maxwell and Toni Rich.

Musing on the differences between the computer biz and the animation biz, Jobs notes, "Look, you work on a technical product, and if you're really lucky, it ships. If you're really, really lucky, it's a hit and lasts a year. If you're in the pantheon of products it lasts a decade, then it rapidly becomes a sediment layer on which the next layer of technology is built.

...many Harvard students mistakenly assume the fact that having sat in the same classroom as John F. Kennedy '40 or used the same toilet as Henry A.
