A pretty wild new version of the "Ballad of Serenity" (Firefly Theme) on iTunes:

For those of us who refuse to install iTunes, would it be possible to give more informations? Name of the artist(s) and/or the album so we can try to find an excerpt elsewhere.

Thanks.

The only problem I have with iTunes is that I need to give them my credit card info, etc *before* having an account. So, I can't even get the *free* content off of iTunes because I refuse to needlessly spread around my sensitive info.

So, as has been said above, is there another link to somewhere where those of us that don't use/refuse to use iTunes can get the info/hear the track?

A.k.a. DOWN WITH SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS MAKING A LIVING OFF WHAT THEY DO !!!!

Seriously, I've done some OSS development. But, I'd *never* go so far as to say that. That's just crazy talk.

no, you misunderstand me. my objection is to the system that says if you want to use our hardware, you MUST use our software, and you can only get parts/accessories from US. ie the rest of apple.

i prefer the more open standard of the pc world. where you can get a wide variety of hardware & Software that function similarly from a wide variety of manufacturers.

while i do prefer free open source software in general, i wouldn't go so far as to say individuals shouldn't make a living from their software. if it's good.

it was mainly meant as an anti-apple rant.

The song is by The Sg Sound on the album Escapade Velocity. You can find it on Amazon (not completely free & open, but more accessible than iTunes).

The song is "Firefly Theme" from the album "Escapade Velocity" by The SG Sound. You can hear a free sample at Amazon.com :

Until I heard this song, I had not realized that Professor Stephen Hawking had a singing career.

No, you just didn't say what you meant. I responded to what you wrote. If you wanted to say what you said below, then you should have wrote that. In other words, don't assume that other people are wrong for properly interpreting what you wrote, when in reality you didn't write what you meant.

Oh yah, the open world of closed hardware and software of the PCs. Except, you know, there's more variety of closed hardware and software. Hypocrite.

There's also the fact that the *vast* majority of PC users get there hardware/software from Dell, etc where Dell, etc are effectively "Apple's" for the PC world. In other words, there's little difference for the average user between Mac v.s. PC. Except that Apple doesn't provide low-end machines.

I should also point out that I have both Ubuntu and OpenBSD installed on my Mac Mini. So much for "you MUST use our software", eh.

You should also take a look through even Apple's on-line store. There's a variety of manufacturers on it providing accessories, etc. Not to mention the fact that there are other companies that provide Mac accessories/etc not in there store. So much for "you can only get parts/accessories from US", eh.

Know your facts, not your propaganda.

Then you should have wrote an anti-apple rant instead of making a grand sweeping statement. Also, see the first part of my reply.

Seriously, we could go back and forth of the evils of both Apple and the companies of the PC world. But, really, what would that accomplish? Both have pros and cons and those will depend on the needs of the individual user. Similarly for OSS v.s. commercial software.

I did! I did! Quoting myself, "Until I heard this song, I had not realized that Professor Stephen Hawking had a singing career." Why use a 4 letter word when I can, at the same time, cruelly mock my betters and the song?

The other music samples on the album are far superior. It's only the Firefly Theme that went so very wrong.
