The Simple new Year Plan I'll write down a few goals. Leave th

Even though the video is no longer available, reading this shows just how special this idea was      Wednesday December 17, 2014 11:58 am PST by Juli Clover Over the weekend, Apple released a touching new holiday ad called "The Song," focusing on a woman who found an old record of her grandmother singing a love song to her grandfather, which she then enhanced with her own vocals and musical accompaniments using Apple's tools.
