Did you ever see a 747 launch off the top of a building? Talk about a short runway! This retired 747 is a part of a new water slide at a the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, USA.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
