- Read this article (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/30/science/30planet.html) on New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/) with title - Planet or Not, Pluto Now Has Far-Out Rival.

Informally, the astronomers have been calling it Xena after the television series about a Greek warrior princess, which was popular when the astronomers began their systematic sweep of the sky in 2000. "Because we always wanted to name something Xena," Dr. Brown said.
- Planet Xena? Apparently, the scientist must be watching Xena: Warror Pricess (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0112230/) while searching for a new planet. Personally I would call it Planet Fedora
- While browsing Wikinews (http://en.wikinews.org/), I found something interesting. Audio Wikinews (http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Audio_Wikinews) provides news briefs (http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Audio_Wikinews/News_Briefs) in Ogg Vorbis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg_Vorbis) which is an open source audio format alternative to patented mp3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mp3#Licensing_and_patent_issues).
- It also recommends Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) for recording utility. Do we have it in our Fedora Extras Repo? Sure we do.
