    For every annoying gentoo user, are three even more annoying anti-gentoo crybabies. Take Yosh from #Gimp for example.

    Wasn't Apple Computer supposed to stay out of the music business?
    I can almost see iTunes alone as an exception, as they're only selling it not making it. But having exclusing distribution rights makes Apple Computer very nearly a record label.
    Wonder what Apple Records will have to say.

    Apple Computer said it has nabbed the exclusive U.S. rights to distribute the soundtrack to 20th Century Fox's "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." Apple is selling the album for $9.99 as an online download, with no physical CDs being made for the U.S. market. The soundtrack includes a score by composer Trevor Jones and features performances by the London Symphony Orchestra and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

    This is considered a "Story"? It's just a short snippet.

    This would have fitted better along with some other Quickies.

    Must be a slow news day.

    In an unusual move, Apple has aquired the rights to LXG2. The movie will not be available in theaters but instead viewers will be required to download it from the new iMovie web store.

    Humbug.
