Is iTunes 9 sporting “Marble”?

Looks like Apple’s rumored “unified interface”, code-named “Marble” might be a comin’ after all… starting with the somewhat UN-unifying iTunes 9 interface.

“Hey, if you notice the new look on itunes 9 it is very different than snow leopard etc etc. But is this the marble theme apple said would be included into snow leopard but never turned up. Remember in the past itunes received the new “leopard” look before leopard came out. HMMMM whatd’ya think?”
I think you’re onto something. It certainly looks quite different than iPhoto and iTunes 8 and even Snow Leopard’s Safari…
God, I wish I cared about this event…

Ummm… It’s not like they’re going to bury his albums with him guys
I have time and again admitted to not having a soul, but seriously, I don’t get this at all.
That right. How are the Black Eyed Peas on the charts?
No, seriously, why the big rush to buy Michael Jackson’s songs now that he’s dead? Are people planning to have massively depressing listening parties? Or was his death simply a reminder that he used to make music about 15-20 years ago?
Review: iHD171 HD Radio Receiver with iTunes Tagging
iPod alarm clocks have been around since time began (which was apparently 12:00AM), but none of them were as cool as iLuv’s iHD171.
I have seen many iPod alarm clocks come and go over the years and never got all that excited over them, but the iHD171 grabbed my attention enough to request a review unit because of the fact that in addition to being an iPod alarm clock with all the features you might expect (and a few you might not) the iHD171 is also an HD radio receiver. Being a satellite radio fan (as well as internet radio fan) who had long since sworn off “terrestrial radio”, I was interested in seeing what the big deal was about HD radio. For those who are not familiar, HD radio allows radio stations to broadcast multiple stations in “high definition sound” on the same channel. So for instance Read more
Contest: WWDC invite Wurdle
THANK YOU< WE HAVE A WINNER, and it is DAVE with the word "HAYMAKER"! Congrats Dave!
Attention Wurdle fans! We took at look at the new WWDC invitation Apple just put out, and the SECOND thing that popped into our head was, “Wow, that looks kinda like Wurdle!” So to that end, we thought it would be interesting to put out a challenge… What is the longest “Wurdle-style” word you can make from the WWDC invite? If you are not familiar with Wurdle, the object is to “draw” a word path from letter to letter, trying to make the longest word possible. Your finger can move in any direction, so long as the letters are touching and have not already been used. (See our “Mayor” example above).
Winner will get a $20 iTunes gift card (US only).
In the very likely event of a tie, we will use Scrabble point values to determine a winner. If there is still a tie, um, well, the first person who posted the longest of the tied word wins. And NO, you CANNOT use “MAYOR”.
Contest ends April 1st. 
Good luck!
