The Incredible Hulk gets a Reboot.

Edward Norton wrote the last draft of the screenplay.

William Hurt, Liv Tyler to co-star.

Marvel purchased the rights to the "Lonely Man Theme"

The movie is to be modeled after the TV show and Bruce Jones' run on the comic.

The gamma radiation scene from the original series will be duplicated and updated in the new film.

Huh, I saw only parts of the first film and tried to watch it once but got bored. A couple of my comic-book-fan-friends hated the Hulk. Maybe this one will be fun!

...didn't Minidisc come out well after compact disc? What world does this author live in?

CDs came out long before Minidisc, yes, but given the context he uses, "But rather than another video cassette or DVD, the industry may have found another MiniDisc. That format was a detour on music’s route from cassette to compact disc," I suspect he's reaching a little bit and trying to say that MiniDisc battled CDs and CD-Rs. If he knew his stuff, he would have pointed out that Minidisc was battling against DCC as well (Digital Compact Cassette)... and maybe even DAT.

True dat.

imeem was recently brought to my attention. I only signed up today because I knew someone else had done it and it works pretty good. I'm not a true imeemer yet. ;-)

I think I like the free streaming tho! Seems like they have a better selection than LastFM.

Apple to cut iTunes prices in UK.

Quote
The European Commission last spring accused Apple of unfairly charging British consumers more than their counterparts in the euro zone for tracks from iTunes, the dominant online music vendor. British consumers typically pay 79 pence, or $1.55, per song while iTunes stores in the euro zone charge 99 euro cents, or $1.46...

...Apple said that within six months it would lower prices for British consumers to bring them into line with those elsewhere in Europe. But neither the company nor the commission provided details of the settlement.

Bloody poms just be happy with what they get.

Apple is still profiting hugely from the weak dollar compared to the dollar... 99 euro cents is ...

OK, that includes 15% or so sales tax...

yes, but they are buying the songs from EU publishers in Euros.

This is my Sansa I got, but for $5 cheaper (mine). Get one if you're interested. I think I mistated it was 1GB, but it's 2GB.

What a journey.

Mac/iPhoto support with recent wifi-enabled SD card.

Anyone here try one (of the first gen)?

What a journey.

Posting this from my eeePC. I replaced the OS it came with with a custom xubuntu distro, so it's running a full desktop OS. It's amazing what this thing can do, for its size and cost. VGA out, audio out, audio in, SD card slot, ethernet, two USB, 4GB internal SDD, 802.11b/g upgraded to 2 GB RAM, 800x480 screen. $400, not counting the RAM upgrade.

Awesome JW. The current state of hardware simply amazes me. I guess that means I'm entering the old-fuddy stage of life?

Love the idea of user controlled installation central to Unix in general and Linux in particular. I just wish I had a greater aptitude for computers to be able to take advantage of that flexibility.

Did we share this here:

Such a great collection. Photos look amazing, good ol' Kodachrome.

Along those same lines:

Don't know if I've posted these before.

Those Library of Congress photos are great.

Nice historical look at how USA reached it's zenith as a nation.

What a journey.

Say what you will about a "service economy," I wish we still had a manufacturing base. And railroads to support it. And farms that didn't have to buy patented bio-engineered seed for each year's crop. Meh, I'm getting old.

Hah! I just commented on one of the LOC's images ... and said "back when america still manufactured things!".

So true. It's all askew and pear shaped.

25 Million songs - FREE
Legally.
A gift to you the stealing public. From the music industry and corporate America.

> Nor is a lack of compatibility with the iPod player expected to put fans off. Apple is unlikely to allow tracks downloaded from its rival to be compatible with iPods, but, while the iPod is the most popular music player, it has not succeeded in dominating the market: sales of the iPod account for 50 million out of 130 million total digital player sales. Qtrax has also spoken of an “iPod solution”, to be announced in April.

Right.

I wonder how James Blunt's finances are doing? He mentions the hurting financials of the music industry .... just wondering.

So it's free but it's still DRM'd. Fools! Apple has sold near 3 billion tunes, SOLD, with DRM that could be switched off any time.
