The Beatle Goes On Now He’s 64

The former Beatle Paul McCartney turned 64 on Monday, and although it’s not clear where Vera, Chuck and Dave have gotten to, Sir Paul himself is very much in the spotlight again with a colourful ad for Apple iTunes/iPod. Although perhaps not the most obvious figurehead for a new digital music era, it is good to see someone with such a mighty musical legacy embracing new technologies and continuing to develop his work. Happy Birthday Paul.

In other technology news, a Japanese company has produced what they claim is the world’s smallest PC, the Space Cube. At 2cm on each side, it certainly won’t be taking up too much room on the bookshelf.
