Over half of the songs were purchased as albums, and over half of the 200,000 songs offered on the iTunes Music Store were purchased at least once. Those new iPods are selling like hotcakes too..."

Slashdot, geek website, dead at 6 by Anonymous Coward · 2003-05-06 00:58 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I just heard some sad news on www.Kuro5hin.org - "News for Nerds" website and anti-Capitalist hotbed Slashdot.com was found dead in Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda's mother's basement/server room in Holland, Michigan. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Euro-trash community will miss it - even if you didn't agree with the anti-Microsoft, ultra-liberal leanings of the site, there's no denying its contributions to shower-avoiding, hippy-Geek culture. Truly an anti-American icon.
