And she says her decision to offer free music downloads had done the opposite of what the industry predicts it would do: It caused a 300 percent spike in merchandise sales."  [Scripting News]

Mac OS 10.2 Reviewed. The Mac operating system called version 10.2 (and nicknamed "jaguar") arrives this week. Is it a quantum leap for Apple? By David Pogue. [New York Times: Technology]'This is a polished, innovative and - if such a term can be applied to something as nerdy as an operating system - exciting upgrade.

Branford Marsalis starts a new record label. "We guarantee that we will give artists the freedom to make great music."   [Scripting News] "The consolidation of the record industry into major conglomerates has turned the business into a mega-hit pop music machine with a very short term focus. Artists who want to be musicians, not marketing creations, have very few places to record anymore," Branford notes.

It's not just that. Record labels used to be run by people who cared first about the music. Now all they care about is 'did it ship 5 million units in it's first week?' All the best to Marsalis Music.

By LIAM LACEY

TORONTO -- From shameless stargazers to hardcore cineastes, there's plenty of choice at this year's 27th Toronto International Film Festival.From Sophia Loren to Michelle Pfeiffer, from Adam Sandler to John Cusack (along with occasional names from the past such as Suzanne Pleshette and Tim Curry), a long A-list from Hollywood and European cinema was rhymed off as an addendum to an even longer lineup of films, more than half of which are not in English, and come from around the globe.  FULL STORY [The Globe and Mail: Arts]
