Lately, Steve Jobs has been extremely active with his e-mail account. The Apple CEO has been responding to customers, app developers and even journalists, telling them his thoughts on a number of topics. He has also provided more insight into some of Apple’s most prominent products, including the iPad, iPhone and its MacBook line. But there are still several questions that Steve Jobs has yet to answer. And although his company is notorious for being tight-lipped on just about anything related to its future plans, it doesn’t mean that folks who follow Apple don’t have many more questions they would like to ask Jobs. His e-mail inbox should be overrun with these questions. – …

Apple’s Steve Jobs allegedly defended his company’s practices with regard to the iPad and its third-party developer policies, in a series of e-mails sent to Valleywag editor Ryan Tate. The e-mails, very likely sent by Jobs himself, suggest that Apple’s policies protect users from programs that steal private data and unnecessarily drain power. In addition, Jobs supposedly suggested that third-party developers and publishers who disagree with Apple’s policies are more than welcome to not develop on the iPad. – <p>Apple CEO Steve Jobs saw fit over the weekend to drill down
into his companys philosophy behind the iPad and the App Store although the
venue for the discussion couldnt have been further from the carefully

Despite having a long and varied relationship with Adobe, Apple refuses to support Adobe’s popular Flash plugin on its red hot iPod, iPhone and iPad devices. In a recent post, Apple CEO Steve Jobs laid out several reasons why Apple will not support Flash on its devices, most notably Apple’s views on Flash’s reliability, performance and security. But basically Jobs said Apple would not be held hostage by a third party standing between Apple and its developers. This slide show takes a look at all the reasons Jobs said he could not allow Flash on Apple’s pride and joy.

BAT REEMERGES FROM HELL
 Meat Loaf |
Meat Loaf will embark on a summer North American tour beginning July 3 in support of his star-studded forthcoming album Hang Cool Teddy Bear, it was announced today. Meat Loaf’s latest album, whose title comes from a line in Beyond The Valley of the Dolls, was produced by Rob Cavallo (Dave Matthews Band, Green Day, Fleetwood Mac) and features guest appearances by Jack Black, Hugh Laurie, Kara DioGuardi, Queen’s Brian May and Steve Vai. Hang Cool Teddy Bear is out May 11 on Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records. Free single downloads from the new album will be included in the price of the ticket in select markets.
The CD’s theme was inspired by screenwriter-director Kilian Kerwin’s story. A soldier who has been wounded in battle thinks he is going to die. Instead of his life flashing backward at the prospect, his life flashes forward into what could have been. The inter-related songs are the different scenarios he finds himself in. It’s not always the same time or place, but it is always the same woman. The first video, “Los Angeloser,” tells a tale of a bad significant other who takes advantage of a generous lover.
“I wanted it big, I wanted it dramatic, I wanted a rock record,” Meat Loaf says. “Yes, it sounds like a Meat Loaf record. But it sounds different, too; it sounds new, it sounds fresh. It speaks to you in a different way.”
The first leg of the summer 2010 North American tour begins on July 3rd in Gilford, NH at the Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion. More dates will be announced shortly. See currently scheduled Meat Loaf tour dates here.

STEVE KIMOCK CRAZY ENGINE TOUR BEGINS 4/20 IN FAIRFAX, CA WITH BOBBY VEGA
 Steve Kimock |
Beginning on 4/20, Steve
Kimock joins long-time collaborator Bobby Vega for a very auspicious performance at their old stomping grounds in Fairfax,
CA. This one-night event will serve as a launching pad for the Steve Kimock Crazy Engine tour
kicking off the next day at the Hopmonk in Sebastopol, CA. Setting the tone for the tour, the Hopmonk
performance will also include Bobby Vega as a special guest, for what looks like a night of intense dueling bass licks
and the crystal clear guitar phrasing that only Steve Kimock can deliver.
Crazy Engine continues down the track on April 22 for an Earth Day celebration at Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz, CA. This three-set show boasts a rare Kimock solo opener – the first of its kind in California followed by Steve Kimock
Crazy Engine featuring the legendary Melvin Seals on Hammond B3 and keys (JGB), Kimock’s twenty-year-
old son John Morgan Kimock on drums and Trevor Exter, on bass and vocals. The Crazy Engine
run then heads south to Hermosa Beach and San Diego, with a stop in between in Phoenix, AZ for a late night
performance at the Compound Grill as part of the McDowell Mountain Music Festival – marking Kimock’s
first show in the Southwest for over three years.
Also scheduled for the spring, Kimock will perform a two-show solo performance in NYC at The Stone on May 7. Known for his intrinsic ability to speak through the guitar, this one-night stand is sure to bring out a side of Kimock’s
music (and instruments) rarely seen in the public, and often reserved for late nights in the heart of his home studio. The new non-profit performance space is dedicated to the experimental and the avante garde, a seemingly perfect
environment for the unconventional guitarist and his solo muse.
Then, beginning on May 20, Kimock will embark on a four-day journey with The Everyone Orchestra. The
traveling event will kick off at Hodi’s Half Note in Fort Collins on May 20 and will continue to Quixote’s True Blue
(formerly Owsleys) on Saturday May 21 and Sunday May 22. This rendition of the project features a stellar lineup of
nationally renowned talent including Kyle Hollingsworth (SCI), Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band), Dave Watts (The Motet), Jamie Janover (Zilla), Garrett
Sayers (The Motet), Jamie Masefield (Jazz Mandolin Project), Matt Butler and of course, YOU. An additional Sunday, May 23
performance (minus Hollingsworth) is billed as a happy hour show featuring an acoustic set and with other special guests to be announced.
With little pause, Kimock will then join forces with the ultra-experimental Marco Benevento for an intimate powerhouse show at the River Street Jazz Cafe in Wilkes-Barre, PA – near Kimock’s home turf, on June 17. Both known for their emotive and often instrumental arrangements, this paring is sure not to disappoint.
