Apple bigots and "Dead but won't lie down" Netscape mourners have to love the reports out of the Antarctic that MS Explorer has just sunk. The company behind MS Explorer issued a statement saying it had been in severe trouble after collision with "an unknown object... They added that Explorer’s attributes allow... access to places that others cannot visit and she has set many other firsts... passengers and crew took to the lifeboats... the captain and his first officer remained on board until the last moment..." OK, I'm talking about the cruise ship in the Antarctic (Merchant Ship Explorer, not the Microsoft Web Thingy!) that hit a UFO (Unidentified Floating Object) and after 12 hours bobbing around in the briny on its side, finally sank. The Captain and senior crew were not in fact the world's richest man and his First Mate "Sweaty" Balmer, who was rumored to be re-arranging the deck chairs, even as it was going under!

Maybe we can get back to making movies now!
