Since the inception of the iPhone, mobile devices have become more user friendly, intuitive and useful. You can chat face to face with someone on the other side of the world. You can micro-manage your everyday life.

But despite the advancing technology, somehow Apple and other phone manufacturers just can't figure out how to install a properly functioning autocorrect.

Could Santa's Legend Be Attributed To People Tripping Balls on Shrooms? More Than Likely…

We've all heard the great Christmas tale of Santa Claus. A Fat guy in a red coat, flying around the world in a sleigh pulled by magical reindeer, delivering toys to all the good boys and girls of the world. It's really quite a tale...but could it all come from the imagination of some drugged up hippie? Researchers think it's more than likely.

After a kind of weak 2011 where Seether's album 'Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray' took top album honors, 2012 came out and kicked our asses and we still have several months left to go (including a new album from Soundgarden). Here is a list of our top albums of the year so far. [...]

What can we really say about Maynard? The guy is just insane. Not only is Tool awesome. Not only is A Perfect Circle awesome. But his latest passion project, Puscifer, is pretty f**king stellar as well. Since we are all still waiting for a new Tool album (and maybe a new A Perfect Circle album [...]

If you are a fan of rock/metal, you know who Dimebag Darrell is and you know his story. It was a tragedy in the rock universe when he was shot to death (along with 6 fans) at a DamagePlan show in 2004. But since his unfortunate and tragic dem

Tigers at the BCS

(With acknowledgement and apologies to Ernest Thayer, author "Casey at the Bat.")

The outlook was brilliant for the Tiger Eleven that day,

Us Van Halen fans got the best Christmas present of all over the weekend when the legendary Los Angeles rockers confirmed the long-standing rumor that they will be reuniting for a tour with original madcap lead singer David Lee Roth.

New Van Halen Album Now Rumored for Early 2012
