You will now call Aladdin Stuffit Expander, Allume Stuffit Expander.
You will now call Roxio Toast... NAPSTER Toast!

Except that Sonic just bought the consumer software divison of Roxio/Napster. Doesn't this mean that Toast will be Sonic Toast?

Aladdin -> Allume? Odd, but whatever. (IMHO, they're well on their way to also-ran status anyway now that StuffIt is no longer the Mac compression format.)
Roxio/Sonic? Hopefully Toast being bought by its #1 competitor (on Windows) doesn't mean it'll get shoved under the carpet and the Mac version abandoned. Toast may no longer be a necessity for CD/DVD burning, but it's still got a lot of nice features not provided by the OS or iApps.

I hope people stop using Stuffit as a compression mean on OS X really soon. Most people have moved to zip, gz, and/or compressed dmg...but there are still some developers bent on using Stuffit to deliver their content.
I wonder if the Stuffit compression/decompression engine could have been sped up using Altivec. Or have they Altivec'ed it?
Stuffit is really good to decompress almost any file compression format...but the Stuffit file format? It's dead. And the app needs an overhaul.

I'm kind of weary of sonic buying roxio's software. The company has no support whatsoever for the Mac. I have a feeling they're buying Roxio just to get them out of the way.
