This joint is crazy.

There's been a lot of hate toward the Air, but I'm a fan.

SproutCore is the name for Apple's open source, platform-independent, Cocoa-inspired JavaScript framework for creating web applications that look and feel like Desktop applications.

I got this album a while back (well this year) after quite liking some of the tracks released from it, and neither am I ashamed to admit that I like this album and often listen to it on my iPod or when at home chilling out.  I can't believe I haven't bought it before now, as in October 2007 and became a number 1 album.
