Hollywood are launching their own video site. When it debuts Tuesday on the Web, My Damn Channel will become the latest attempt by Hollywood professionals to cash in on the huge popularity of online video. The site is the brainchild of former MTV and CBS Radio executive Rob Barnett, who believes Internet audiences want to see professionally produced shows other than network TV fare.

Speaking of which, apparently TPB are going to resurrect SuprNova, once an extremely popular torrent site. In November 2004 Suprnova’s ISP told Sloncek that the servers were taken into custody by the Slovenian police. The raid was initiated by the French anti-piracy lobby RetSpan.
Red Hat have delayed the release of a new desktop distribution. Red Hat Global Desktop Linux will not be available until September, product manager Gerry Riveros told Reuters in an e-mail.
