Microsoft has nixed any future iterations of its Zune music and video player, according to a Bloomberg report, adding another name on the list of devices killed by Apple's iPod hardware and entertainment ecosystem.

Open source identity: PulseAudio creator Lennart Poettering
He likes photography and skiing, but the primary concern of Lennart Poettering is advancing the Linux audio experience with PulseAudio, an open source sound server.

We catch up with Lennart immediately after this year’s Linux Plumbers Conference to find out the latest PulseAudio developments.
