In what seems to be an amusing parody to the proverbial Apple god, this image was posted by user donatreides over at Flickr depicting the grave of Steve Jobs in the form of an iPod.

The picture evoked a stream of humorous comments when it was first posted and still continues to illicit much amusement. Though he has been reported with notable health problems over the past few years, this puts into perspective a lighter side of what eventually lies in store for everyone someday.

Even Steve Jobs had a thing or two to say about his life and eventual death someday in his commencement address last June:

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

What more can we say but, "Very well said Steve, now where's that new iPod scheduled for the holiday season?"

Disney-Pixar games are a dime a dozen. From Cars to The Incredibles, to a whole host of other games, lots of young gamers (aged 1 to 52) are enjoying the chance to get into their favorite movies and play as its different characters. For next year's summer game, you can expect a massive invasion of culinary rats across all major platforms to date.

We're talking massive here. THQ is going to publish the game on the Wii, NDS, GBA, GameCube, PS2, PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, plus a Mac and PC version.

Ratatouille will have you playing as Remy (not to be confused with fellow QJ blogger Remi) as he goes through key scenes from the movie. You'd have to guide him across a wide array of mini-games, cooking challenges, and head-to-head multiplayer. Players would be allowed to create their own culinary masterpieces, all while trying to evade the perils and threats lurking about the kitchens of Paris.

Are you the next greatest rat-chef in all of history? The game is coming out next year, so you better start preparing those dishes (and evasive skills)!

Yesterday, we reported that over 75 movie downloads from various production companies such as Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar, Touchstone Pictures, and Miramax Films are currently being made available for the iTunes 7. Now, if you're not a big fan of walking to the nearest video store near you, then that spells good news.

However, getting those for free sounds like a way better news to us. And with iTunes7 you can do just that, but not with movies. Instead, ABC is offering FREE downloads for last season's finales of "Lost", "Desperate Housewives," and "Grey's Anatomy." Cool, huh? With this, you can take the girls of Wisteria Lane with you wherever you go, provided that you have your iPod with you.

Reports say that a million copies would be made available, so if you're in the US, you better hurry while these free goodies are still around. And just to clarify, only the season finale episodes of these TV shows will be made available for free. So if you haven't watched any of these shows yet, you better get your hands on the previous episodes first. But if you're a big fan of spoilers, or just want to check out the last episodes first just for the heck of it, well by all means, go on a downloading frenzy. Just don't spill the beans for those who aren't in the know.

Apple has just announced iTunes 7, a new enhancement for the iTunes store that now allows users to download movies, among other things. iTunes 7 now comes with several nice features in the package which now makes things even more convenient for all Apple-lovers everywhere. These features include new album and Cover Flow views of music, TV shows and movies, expanded parental controls, and an iTunes video playback window with on-screen controls. The iTunes store also currently has 75 movie downloads from Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar, Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films, as well as mini-video games from various manufacturers, all of which are playable on fifth generation iPods.

Mac and Windows users can download iTunes 7 for free on the iTunes online store. However, as far as the availability of TV shows and the like, feature films are available only in the US while while video availability varies from country to country. At the moment, games can only be downloaded in 21 countries and can only be played on fifth generation iPods.

By the way, Steve Jobs has already showcased an upcoming product which has been informally dubbed as the iTV player. Expect more info about this in the future here at QJ.

Things are getting leaky up at Apple, and we couldn't pass this opportunity up. In any case, while the whole "iTunes get movies" gig is well-known already, we're still chucking this up on the rumor mill first. This is because September 12 hasn't happened yet. And so, remember: "innocent rumor until proven guilty official".

So what are we dealing with here? It seems as if the movie line-up for the iTunes Music Store has snaked its way out of the Apple confidential files.

One of the main players is Disney's Buena Vista Motion Pictures Group, who will have a collection of Disney movies up:

• The Lion King,
• Aladdin, and
• Pocahontas.

Aside from the classics, they'd also put up

• James and the Giant Peach,
• Chicken Little, and
• even Herbie: Fully Loaded.

Other movies include:

• Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and
• The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
• Disney/Pixa's Toy Story series,
• A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc.,
• Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and
• Cars.

Touchstone Pictures also has their line-up:

• Pearl Harbor,
• The Sixth Sense,
• Gone in 60 Seconds,
• King Arthur,
• Signs, and
• Reign of Fire.

We'd also get horror movies from Lion's Gate Entertainment:

• Hostel,
• Saw
• Saw 2, and
• American Psycho.

It is worthy to note that some of the above movies will not be immediately available for download in the iTunes Music/"Movie" Store. Instead, they'd be slowly uploaded over the span of six months.

For all intents and purposes, until September 12 hasn't happened yet, just keep on coming back to QJ for more updates and other leaky stories...
