NASA researchers have postulated that when the Earth was hit by a large object about 4.5 billion years ago, it probably created many small moons around Earth, plus our large Moon. Many of them landed at stable points between the Earth and the Sun. They still should, theoretically, be here, but aren't. Where did they go? And why?

I've been a Neil Young fan since "After The Goldrush" (yes I'm that old) so seeing the fuss being made about him at Sun's JavaOne conference where he publicly threw his support behind Java and Blu-ray technologies naturally perked my interest. The question is can the likes of Young help the developers of Java and Blu-ray change the way music is packaged and sold?
