I’m very pleased that Grooveshark has a library that bests any service when it comes to music from obscure or lesser known acts. The underground and fringe genres are best represented by Grooveshark, which actually has songs you won’t find on Pandora or Rhapsody.

Client:  ”Oh…well that sucks.”

Steve Jobs and Apple were ready to ditch AT&T six times in the last three years, according to a new story in Wired.

(The story is not online yet, but Jason O’Grady at ZDNet summarized it.) Wired says Apple and AT&T are in a loveless marriage.
