    Apple may have noted the success of similar practices from Magnolia Films/HDNet.

    When Mark Cuban’s company debuts as movie in theatres, 2 showings are offered up in HD on his Hi-Def movie channel – and the DVD generally goes public the same time, as well.

    He thinks the old studio stages/steps are dead in the water and this has given him greater sales overall.

    why the hurry on movies? if people can’t get it when they want it, they’ll find a way. that’s the theory anyway.

    brilliant article on vista, dvorak.

    Ocean dead zones growing fast.

    Scientists predict it is new oil reserves forming naturally!

    Why pay the same price for a movie with out all the extras the DVD offers? Bit Torrent is much better anyway.

    Well, I see that pirates aren’t the only ones ripping off musicians.

    Gee… what a surprise.

    “in short order”?

    Reminds me of a scene in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across The Eighth Dimension

    ‘where are we going?’
    “Planet Ten”
    ‘when?’
    “Real Soon!”

    J/P=?

    They need to get it out quick before they get scooped by the sharing sites…
