Wow, sounds like big news. Almost as good as "president ate old apple instead of the regular banana".

If there's three days to the "official" release and somebody slips it's already releaesd, how can it become big news? I mean Windows Vista was released a good time ago, and even though Ballhead said only now that Vista is a work in progress (more or less precisely like that), it didn't hit the news - actually I was just lucky to find that line.

Nowadays people generate news out of nothing - way too much of them. If the amount of "news" headlines was cut down to a quarter, nothing was lost - on the contrary, maybe we'd actually see some important, or even interesting, news.

Bad day I'm having I guess (started when I brought my "new" computer, shiny and powerful it seemed, down to it's knees by trying to make a panorama image out of too many digital photographs..this age isn't yet ready for digital cameras, it seems).
