submitted by SDNick484 5 hours 43 minutes ago (via http://frankscorner.org/index....)
I used this guide over the weekend to install iTunes 6.0 in Linux (Fedora Core 4). I had to compile the latest Wine source (0.9.7) as the wine RPM for Fedora is too old, but iTunes works. Network shares play fine, and you can browse the iTunes store (but previews don't work). Note: iTunes 6.0.2 isn't supported yet.

The most recent buzz over Google has centered around various rumors that the company will make dumb terminals, its own operating system, or a wireless mesh network, light up dark fiber all over the country, and (get this) finance the "space elevator."

submitted by CLIFFosakaJAPAN 11 hours 30 minutes ago (via http://www.physorg.com/news106...)
Right now, physicists postulate that if strange stars exist they possess enormous density gradient at surface and exhibit a luminosity beyond that of other stars.

Jack Thompson receives flowers, blames Take-Two
submitted by BBX25 6 hours 59 minutes ago (via http://www.joystiq.com/2006/02...)
The flowers have been sent, but a surprisingly bitter response. Jack not only ignores the letter, but he blames Take Two for being involved some way or another. He also claims that these flowers are mocking him and his beliefs. This delusional man is twisting an act of kindness into something it's not for his own, selfish agenda.
