Oh what wonderful news. I’ve always thought that lesser-known straight to video sequels were part of Disney’s secret shame. Good to see Pixar has its integrity pants on.

Apple's share price an in-joke for Intelites →
What’s even more strange is the very fact that the stock went *up* after a keynote. Usually Wall Street doesn’t know what to think of new Apple announcements and everyone sells.

As expected, Microsoft announced today at CES a new music download service in partnership with MTV, called “Urge”. From the CNN coverage: The offering will include exclusive material from MTV, though it will not be compatible with iPods, which are currently the most popular MP3 player. Not that non-compatibility is a shock to anyone, anywhere, but I’ll ask the expected question anyway....
