The Legendary Percy Sledge Brings Back Memories of a Time When Your ...
There was a lot of new music in the ’60s. Some of it was great. Most of it was awful. But Percy Sledge was always in a class of his own. He is one of the greatest performers ever...one of the greatest singers ever. He is one of those rare talents that seem almost divine...too good to be purely human – like Shakespeare or Chopin.

When the music never starts
Obviously we're pretty slow, given that she performed very close to where we live earlier this year, but we hadn't heard Patty Griffin until we stumbled upon a rave about Mary . So we went looking to buy and download Mary of course, plus look at some of her other stuff, and ended up at Amazon.com's MP3 download site. We dutifully installed Amazon's MP3 downloader, clicked on the track ... and were informed that because we'd foolishly chosen to live in Australia, rather than the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave etc, we couldn't download the music. And the recording industry wonders why so many of its customers get their music from Russia . Where you can download an entire album for not more than the cost of a single track.

The shrinking personal computer
It's been one of those introspective periods at Bleeding Edge … a period in which we have been wondering just where the concept of a personal computer might be taking us. This column was founded on the personal computer, and it's been our business, over the past couple of decades, to try to keep track of the things. In the old days, we knew what a personal computer was. It was a large box that sat on or under your desk. It had a big screen. It emitted a background hum. Periodically it crashed, and occasionally ate your data, as often as not due to the engineering genius of Microsoft. Over the years we've accommodated the changing role of the personal computer – the way it moved from being something that one used for office activities to something that handled our email, hooked us up to the internet, became the instrument for our banking and an increasing proportion of our shopping, insinuated itself into our lounge room, firstly by becoming our music library, then our TV receiver and recorder, and more recently even served as our personal telephone exchange. Over that time the operating system has evolved, although it continues ...

Telstra joins the iPhone craze
We'd love to have been in on the negotiations - both Apple and Telstra tend to see negotiations as a zero sum game, and what with both offering music downloads, both offering video downloads etc., it was scarcely a match made in heaven - but the Aussie Gorilla has at last done a deal with the Cupertino Killer , and you'll be able to get an iPhone on the NextG networ k come the official launch in 10 days time. We see it as one of those watershed moments for Telstra, because once its iPhone customers realise that if they use their glamourous new device the way the advertising suggests it should be used, they'll be up for thousands of dollars a month, the screams will be deafening. Telstra is making a token gesture towards practical utility: plans include free Wi-Fi access at Telstra hotspots, so during the mandatory 24-month contract, there will be times iPhone users will be able to use the features they've paid for. The NextG iPhone plans start at $30 a month, with the 8GB model costing $279 and the 16GB version $399. If you want the hardware "free", you'll have to sign on for the ...
