Review: Voices Is Today’s Best Thing Ever, Grab It Now While It’s Cheap

    Dave, the music is “Siboney,” a rumba originally composed by Xavier Cugat, and sung by Connie Francis. The song was used in the film “2046.”

    Wait a sec… Did he just show a slot loading drive on an air? Or was he showing off remote disc on another machine??

    The Air accepts CDs now?
