Buffy to slay her way back into cinemas

Not typo, just word order

I don't think there's a "not" inserted in that sentence, just perhaps inserted in the wrong place.

"J.J. Abrams Star Trek, which was not surprisingly complete rubbish."

Oracle charges $90 for Sun's free ODF plug-in

No longer $49

Now you've done it; they've gone and upped the price to $90 from this link as well.

Sun grows Oracle but stunts profits

Oracel only had Sun for one month

Remember that Oracle is only reporting on Sun's revenues for the one month from the time the sale closed to the end of the quarter. So, assume that's a true 1/3 of the full quarter, you get just over $800m for hardware, just under $750m in support and about $250m for other. Next quarter is traditionally the strongest quarter for Sun, so if you assume quarter-to-quarter growth based on sales cycle, plus organic growth based on customers not having question about Sun's future, 1.2b-1.3b isn't unrealistic.
