Sigh, wake me up when they get at least 640x480 video.
When iTunes initially came out, the audio files you downloaded were *better* than what you could pirate off the net. This made iTunes a valuable product for those who preferred to pay the artists for their product. This is not the case with this new video feature, though.
My prediction--paying $1.99 for lower-fidelity video than can be pirated off the net is just not going to be as successful.
If you're interested in drawing PDFs from code, a nice OS X application is AquaTerm (http://aquaterm.sourceforge.net/). It has C bindings, so you can write a C program to create lines & text. AquaTerm displays the lines & text and allows you to display & print (to PDF) the results.
Somebody please try putting a MUD NLP in front of a common shell like bash or csh. I sure think this would do wonders for linux usability and productivity. This would allow you to use the NLP stuff for times when you don't know/can't remember the arcane 'find' args. But, when you just want to "cp x y", you can.
Please, when you choose your next linux project, think about this one.

Hopefully, it is just the start...
Why would you compare to C or Java instead of Python or Ruby?
I've heard many people suggest that usually the same script in Python is much more understandable.
