iTunes Picks the Best of 2009 – Yahoo! News
It's that time of year again when the endless, and always entertaining, year-end lists come out. The search engines have already had their say with Yahoo's top searches of 2009
, the most popular search questions of 2009
, and the top search term of the year
. But no series of year-in-review articles would be complete without the hottest selections from the iTunes Store–one of the most popular retail stores on the planet.
The editorial team at iTunes spent some time before the holidays mulling over what they believe to be the best of the best in all of iTunes' departments including Music, Movies, Television, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and of course, iPhone Apps. You can check out the complete iTunes Rewind 2009: The Best of the Year
compilation on the iTunes Store, but here are some highlights from each category.
Music
The iTunes editorial team kicked off their best of 2009 series with a nicely curated mix of music from the past year. With the untimely passing of Michael Jackson in June, iTunes decided to honor the King of Pop as its Artist of the Year. Top album of the year honors were given to Kings of Leon's fourth studio album, Only By the Night, and Lady GaGa was chosen as Best New Artist.
I would highly recommend listening to the iTunes Rewind podcast #63
where the iTunes editors explain their music picks in greater detail including their reasoning for choosing Lady Gaga, an artist who debuted in August 2008, as Best New Artist for 2009. The list is simply too large to reprint here, but you can check out the complete music selection on iTunes

The stock market buzz today is not restricted to a handful of investors. The scope hems in investors representing homemakers to corporate executives to small businessmen and the list goes on and on. Millions of investors, in the worldwide context, do get updated about stock quotes including that of changing market trends for wise and profitable investment. Catching a glimpse of the latest quotes has become easy via the Internet with many brokerage platforms functioning online. A company listed in the stock market displays its share price; this share price is termed as quote. Stock quotes differ from one stock exchange to another; investors, as per their preferences, buy shares, depending on live quotes displayed.
Understanding stock quotes is not as easy as it seems so. It entails immense knowledge and experience of the stock market. A novice investor will find it awfully intricate to read a live quote; if you ask him about hot stocks or the most active stocks, his response will be in the negative. The Internet, no doubt, can coach one with the basics of a quote; yet the knowledge gained may not be sufficient. There are online platforms that have in-house market experts and brokers to guide you thoroughly, providing you special assistance as well as facilitating your online trading.
Besides updating you on every aspect of the stock market like information about the profitable market segments, top gainers, losers, mutual funds, and lot more related information, you can also watch the live stock chart. Clicking on the quote will transport you to the particular company where you can study in detail about the company’s performance in the market over the past few months, whether buying its shares will bring you gains and related paraphernalia.
Stock quotes are an indispensable part of the stock market. Regularly getting updated of the latest quotes will at all times keep you at the winning edge. At the same time you also need to know about other details related to the stock market. You can have a look at the hot stocks or the most active stocks and based on the numbers of the latest stock, trading decisions can be taken. The latest stock quotes can change in a second; so view live quotes every now and then, especially if you are a big investor or a full time investor.
