The Jakarta Turbine project still has plenty of momentum behind it. In fact, there's going to be a new realease of the Turbine framework within the next couple of days.
Apparently you haven't noticed that most of the crap that record companies are pushing out these days only has about one song (if that) worth hearing on it. I can't imagine that that the newest Backstreet Boys CD doesn't have a dozen or so filler tracks on it to go with their one hit. When you're depending on one song to move a whole album you're sure to get bitten in the ass by this.
If these videos were authentic then I sure that the Cupertino laywers would have shut this site down by now. In the past they've always had leaks shut down almost as soon as they crop up through the use of heavy-handed legal threats directed at everyone involved. The history of this sort of thing undermines the credibility of this story already, as these videos have been up since late yesterday.
CS and EE are very immature fields. They've been around for far shorter periods of time than other scientific diciplines. When was the last time that you actually looked at the research going on? Orthogonal persistance instead of a filesytem is cool, for one thing. Who needs a filesytem anyway? But that's just what I'm interested in. Have a look around or come up with something yourself. There are plenty of areas that have yet to be explored. Wouldn't it be cool if there were tons of little software components floating around on the network that could talk to one another and combine on the fly to accomplish what you need to do? Call it "Networked Program Creation and Mutation." Write it yourself or better yet get involved with (or start) a cool open source project. Whatever you do, as long as you're interested in it, it'll be fun.

The replacement? Well thats simple. A firewire port in my car/receiver/audio playing device into which I plug my iPod and have all my music.
Not exactly simple... can you tell that he works for Apple, ladies and gentlemen?
Profit!

upstart: A person of humble origin who attains sudden wealth, power, or importance, especially one made immodest or presumptuous by the change.
It doesn't have anything to do with how old it is.
