u2.com: Ok, so the wait is nearly over and the new album is on the way. So what do we know... and what do we not know!
There’s still a lot to be revealed in the coming weeks, but, when you pull it all together, quite a few of the vital statistics are already out there. We figured it might be time to separate some of the facts from some of the wilder flights of virtual imagination and online chatter.

lsionline.co.uk: Coinciding with the launch of Diana Scrimgeour's new book, U2 Show, a beautifully illustrated history of the legendary Irish band's innovative tour productions, PLASA (in association with Total Production International and the PSA) is presenting an exclusive seminar featuring two of the band's longest-serving touring personnel, at the forthcoming PLASA Show.
Hosted by TPI editor Mark Cunningham, the seminar - Designing for U2 - will feature Willie Williams and Joe O'Herlihy in conversation about their creative and technical involvement with U2, and how advances in technology have been successfully (and ingeniously) applied to deliver the band's constantly evolving performance ethos.

abs-cbnnews.com: U2 lead singer Bono is taking time off from preparing for the release of his band's new album to remind Republicans about AIDS in Africa.
Just as he did in July at the Democratic National Convention in Boston, the Irish activist showed up at the Republicans' confab at Madison Square Garden to use his celebrity cachet to spread the word.
"I'm a nonpartisan guy," Bono said during an interview at the venue on Wednesday with Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly. [ more]

abc.net.au: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle". It's one of the most famous slogans in the world. A TV ad attributes the line to Bono. Eoin Cameron and lots of others are certain the phrase was coined by American feminist Gloria Steinem. We talk to the eminent but unassuming Australian who actually deserves the credit.
