LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) ? What do Bob Dylan and Miley Cyrus have in common -- besides their perpetually chipper demeanor, of course?
They're both doing their part to benefit human rights organization Amnesty International on its 50th anniversary.
The human-rights organization is releasing a sprawling, four-CD collection, "Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International," on January 24, with the proceeds going to AI, according to numerous news reports.
The collection, which primarily consists of cover versions of tunes from the Dylan catalog, encompasses 80 artists. Among those taking a crack at Mr. Zimmerman's songbook: Adele, Sting, Elvis Costello, My Chemical Romance, Ke$ha and, yes, "Party in the USA" songbird Cyrus, who will contribute her take on Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go."
On the other end of the age spectrum, 92-year-old folk icon Pete Seeger will offer his version of "Forever Young," accompanied by a children's chorus.
Aside from Dylan's original 1964 rendition of "Chimes of Freedom," all of the songs will be new recordings.

We are entering into a new era, ladies and gentlemen. Well, "era" may not be the right word considering how quickly things change in these here mobile parts, but the fact remains the same: Quad-core mobile processors are here. And the ones that aren't quite here yet are coming. While many of our brilliantly geeky readers need no tutorial on the advantages of four processing cores, some of you may be thinking "Uh... OK, why do I care?" So I took it upon myself to place a few calls and get some of the big guns — Qualcomm, Nvidia, and TI — to explain why exactly you should care (or shouldn't), and what kind of differences technology like this can make in the average user's daily phone usage.
