Submission + - Will AAC become next industry standard?

stivi writes: " BusinessWeek writes: "Apple's recent deal with EMI to sell DRM-free songs from the publisher's catalog on iTunes may clinch the iPod's AAC format as the industry standard". The article talks about possible reasons why AAC might marginalize WMA. There are plenty of players that can play AAC already. What would happen if more labels would follow the step of providing DRM-free music, possibly with higher quality?"

Submission + - GNUstep Project Gets New Chief Maintainer

stivi writes: "OSNews is reporting that Gregory Casamento has accepted the position of GNUstep Maintainer. Adam Fedor, former GNUstep leader writes: "After over 15 years of being the Chief Maintainer for GNUstep, I've found I have too many other responsibilities to devote as much time to GNUstep as is necessary. I still plan on contributing to GNUstep in the future in a lower capacity." Gregory has been a prolific developer for GNUstep for the past seven years and is currently the maintainer for Gorm (the graphical interface designer) and the GUI library. I think he will make a great choice to lead GNUstep in the future. New plans for change have been set up already. Thank you Adam for the past, congratulations Gregory to the future."
