Apple's corporate tune
A complete re-recording of the Apple corporate song (sans cheesy 80s lyrics). The keyboard featured is a Clavia Nord Lead 3. The original track appears heavily based on ‘What a Feeling’ from the musical Flashdance, with similar instrumentation, melody and singing style – Apple obviously wanted to reference or parody this.

If you missed out on the latest version of the MAC SID player
You might have missed out on the new user interface which I have come to enjoy
SIDPLAY is a Commodore 64 music player. It emulates the sound chip and other internals of the Commodore 64 home computer to play back music that was originally written on it. The sound chip of the C64 is called the “Sound Interface Device” or SID, and therefore this music is known as SID music. The SID chip is basically a three voice synthesizer on a chip. The unusual combination of digital and analogue circuitry is the reason for its distinctive sound.
SIDPLAY strives to offer the best possible SID music experience on any platform. It has been designed with the High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) in mind. This collection is the biggest and most complete collection of SID music on the Internet. It can be obtained for free from http://hvsc.c64.org/.

… I came across this intriguing and inspiring site.
Some years ago I had quite a nice Kraftwerk refill that I lost in transfer between laptops 
and searching through the old sources I soon realized that refill was nowhere to be found, but to my great surpirise I came acroos the original author again and actually managed to download some of those refills again and being such a nice person I of course would like to share it with all of you guys 
Take a look at this Kraftwerk/Apple/Widgets/VST multimedia artist and enjoy…
