Winamp + FireFox = Songbird
http://www.songbirdnest.com/roblord/blog/songbird_screenshots
還沒有放出來。介面類似 iTunes。曾經開發 Winamp 的一些人開發出來的。先會有 Windows 版本，Linux、Mac 版稍後釋出。
Built on top of Mozilla’s FireFox as well as XULRunner and using VLC Mozilla plug-in for media playback.

SGI
看到 Linux 2.6.14 的 change log，才忽然想到其實 SGI 對 Linux 貢獻不少: XFS, FAM, GLX 等等.. 如果他們倒閉了對 Linux 也是一種損失 (尤其是 XFS 的後續開發)。

Linux kernel 2.6.14 gets released
我覺得比較重要的： FUSE (File system in Userspace)，Intel Centrino driver。

Nov. 05, 2005
Better late than never, the new Linux kernel, version 2.6.14, became available late last week. Originally, the latest kernel was to show up on Oct. 7. Linus Torvalds explained that the release been "delayed twice due to some last-minute bug-reports, some of which ended up being false alarms (hey, I should be happy, but it was a bit frustrating)."
Good things may come to those who wait.
Compared with 2.6.13, the 2.6.14 kernel includes changes "all over the place," said Torvalds. The big change in the standard kernel is that it now includes Centrino Wi-Fi support.
Many Linuxes, such as SUSE 10 and Xandros 3 already support Centrino through the use of ipw2xxx drivers and Linux's hotplug infrastructure. This enables the Centrino cards or mini-adaptor's firmware to be switched out with a Linux-compatible interface. For further technical details with how this is done with the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection mini PCI adapter, see the SourceForge site.
By incorporating this support within the kernel, it makes it easier for Linux distributors to support Centrino-based Wi-Fi. However, vendors must still obtain the Intel driver firmware itself separately from the kernel due to Intel's licensing restrictions.
Besides many smaller improvements in InfiniBand, USB and SCSI support, the new kernel also came with significant file system support improvements.
These include updates for the Silicon Graphics Inc.'s 64-bit XFS and Microsoft's NTFS (New Technology File System). In addition, improvements were made to Linux's VFS (virtual file system).
With this kernel, FUSE (File system in Userspace) has also been merged into Linux.
FUSE, like the no-longer-supported LUFS, is designed to provide an abstract interface for making remote files and file systems appear and act as if they were on your local file system. Therefore, for example, developers and expert users can set up their systems so that users can easily access ftp or SMB (Simple Message Block) file systems just as if they were local file systems.
More advanced users may be interested in exploring FUSE's more advanced functionality. Since in Linux, almost anything can be treated as a file, you can also use FUSE to access Google's GMail and BitTorrent streams as file systems.
Some had hoped that the Reiser4 high-performance file system would be merged into this kernel, but it was left out due to concerns over its consistency with VFS and other Linux features. These are being addressed, and Reiser4 should become an official part of Linux in the near future.
In the meantime, Torvalds plans to only accept code merges for the two weeks after 2.6.14's release, before freezing features for the next release candidate, 2.6.15. This new policy has been adopted to keep the constant flood of would-be improvements from overwhelming the kernel's core developers.

考古佐證: 泡麵是中國人發明的! 哈!
上面是我自己改的標題啦....
考古佐證麵條起源中國 全球最古老麵條出土 距今4000年
【東森新聞報 記者周永旭／編譯】
義大利、阿拉伯和中國人都宣稱自己是第一個發明麵條的民族，現在新的考古發現支持了麵條是中國人發明的說法。
考古學家在青海挖掘出一碗麵條遺跡，年代已經有4000年之久，比先前考古所知麵條歷史還早了2000年。
北京的中國社科院研究員呂厚遠（Lu Houyuan）在青海民和縣的黃河流域附近，挖掘出一碗黃色的麵條，經過碳十四鑑定，這碗麵有4000年歷史，呂厚遠說，「這肯定是至今發現最早的麵條。」
這碗麵是在民和縣喇家村的黃土高原氾濫區的地底3公尺處挖出，麵已經煮過，被覆在一個倒扣的碗中，長約50公分，直徑約0.3公分，與今日的拉麵很像，捲成如拳頭般大小﹔麵是以小米和黍製成，而非今日麵條的主要原料麵粉或者米。
社科院考古學家在同一個地方考古了數年，陸續挖出內有人骨化石的房子，陶器，石器和玉石藝品，以及動物的骨骸，呂厚遠表示，以這些物品的狀態研判，煮麵的人當時遇到大地震引發的洪水，全村幾乎都被水淹沒了。
麵條的起源是在哪裡，在考古界爭論已久，義大利，阿拉伯以及中國都宣稱是麵條發源地，呂厚遠說，「中國人說，馬可波羅把麵條從中國帶到義大利，義大利人說，他們在那之前就已經有麵條了。
這些都是根據史料，個人看法，但是到今天之前，我們一直無法發現確切證據。」
之前所發現年代最早的麵條是距今約2000年的東漢時期。
