msnbc.msn.com: Sometimes a rock band can worm its way into your cranium and remain there throughout all the significant moments of your adult life. Most people have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, each whispering in one ear, each vying for attention. With me, U2 has always been the group playing in the background while that battle for my soul raged. [ more]

timesonline.co.uk: A TINY technology firm set up by U2 is taking on Microsoft, the software giant, in an American court. Burst.com, which is partly owned by the band, alleges that Microsoft routinely destroys legally sensitive internal documents.
The company is suing Microsoft for theft of its patented technology and for anti-competitive practices. It alleges that Microsoft “as a matter of institutional policy has decided to destroy e-mails in anticipation of litigation”.
U2 invested $2m (€1.3m) in Burst.com more than a decade ago. The band used its data-streaming technology to broadcast its 1997 PopMart concert over the internet.

szon.de: «Hello, hello»: Vier Jahre haben die Fans der irischen Erfolgsband U2 auf ein neues Album gewartet; vier lange Jahre Warten auf einen neuen Trend, einen neuen Sound?
Doch was Charismatiker Bono und seine Band mit «How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb» abgeliefert haben, ist weniger als das und doch viel mehr: Ein Rock-Album, das die Rock'n'Roll-Herkunft der Band aus den 80ern mit ihrem unterkühlten, verzerrten Sound der 90er versöhnt - dazu die über allem erhaben schmachtende Stimme von Bono. Eine Rückkehr zu alter Stärke - und ganz nebenbei möglicherweise die Rettung des Pop. [ more]

suntimes.com: Twenty-eight years after forming in Dublin, U2 has become the Rolling Stones. Both superstar acts have larger-than-life frontmen whose posing and preening is both their strength and their weakness. Both boast perpetually cool guitarists who serve as the groups' musical engines, and both have secret weapons in the form of deceptively simple but amazingly powerful drummers. [ more]

ekklesia.co.uk: Famous U2 lead-singer Bono is reported to have said that he didn't want to perform his famous ‘God’ line again for the new Band Aid record, according to news agency API.
The singer revealed that he wanted some different lines this time, because he had hated recording the lyric ‘Tonight, thank God it's them instead of you’ for the original Do They Know It's Christmas? record in 1984.
‘I begged them not to make me do it, saying, “Isn't there another line you could take?” Because, last time, I recorded the whole song," he was quoted as saying.

chron.com: It must be grand being a member of U2 and knowing that every album you put out will be a success. Albums released by the Irish supergroup almost immediately become a standard by which other rock albums are measured. While younger bands struggle to find ways to expand their sound without alienating a fickle fan base, U2 goes anywhere it wants and confidently tells its listeners, "This is what you need." [ more]
