One of the reasons Redbox gives is "higher debit card fees that went into effect October 1." Anyone find this strange? The debit card fees were actually reduced for merchants, and as far as I know, the only fees were the ones affecting consumers. (a good reference here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204138204576600800330404330.html) Should I guess that RedBox/Coinstar lost a sweet deal they had with a bank and had to raise prices, or are they just shielding their move behind something not many consumers are aware of?

ActionDesignStudios writes "The upcoming release of Ubuntu, titled 'Lucid Lynx,' has just entered the beta cycle. Alongside the usual desktop and server versions, a special version has been released that is designed to run on Amazon's EC2 cloud service. This release of Ubuntu does away with the brown 'Human' Gnome theme we've all become accustomed to, replaced by a new version Canonical says is inspired by light. The new release also includes much better integration with social networking services such as Twitter, identi.ca and Facebook, among others."
