Apple Licenses CUPS

    I noticed the OS X like logo and background on where I'm typing my comment. Is it always like that or just on Apple stories?

    Has anyone else just noticed the slashdot Aqua theme, or am I slow? Looks nice. The slashdot "theme" probably could use a little update itself as well.

      Well, it seems that it's only "aqua" this Apple topic. How fitting.
