| Briefly: Apple selling Polk, NWU student poll, more
In brief: Apple stores are now selling Polk Audio products, students at Northwestern University are using Facebook and the iPhone to perform a statistical analysis, and Tessera Technologies is in the process of acquiring FotoNation. Starting in March 2008, Apple's US retail outlets will sell the I-Sonic ES2 sound system, which features iTunes tagging for HD radio, allowing users to bookmark songs. Once songs are tagged, users can attach the iPod to their computer, and preview, buy, and download the tagged tracks. Northwestern University graduate students are using the Mimieo social networking service to perform a study of which Superbowl ads were most appealing to users. After every quarter, the page compiled responses of how liked the ads were, and whether or not the advertisement influenced potential shopping decisions for viewers.

Hip-Hop Rumors: LaLa Plumps Up, Amerie Dropped? AHHmerican Gangster!
There were a lot of little petty incidents at the Grammys…I ignored a lot of them. You know, the whole thing with Rihanna pulling Beyonce's man on stage like it was her man or something. Anyway, Aretha Frankin is universally regarded as the Queen of Soul. So, when Beyonce called Tina Turner the “Queen" before they performed, Aretha had to to issue the following statement.
"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé. However, I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. I thank the Grammys and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyoncé anyway."
Also, I heard that Aretha refused to perform song with Mary, Alicia or any of the young bucks out there.

The voice of her little sister Kristen, forever frozen in time, is pleading with her to fight a little bit longer. "I know it's true," said Carol Henderson of Wareham, who lost one daughter to a car accident a decade ago and may now lose another. "Amy has injuries that you and I could not have survived." Amy Johnson, who moved from Wareham to Bridgewater just a few weeks ago, lost control of her car in the early morning and slammed into a tree near Exit 2 on I-495, suffering massive internal injuries.
