The newspaper reports that of the 36,000 screens in the country, less than 110 currently operate on digital equipment so even though the deal might seem small, it will more than double the number of digital screens by the end of the year. Digital movies offer better picture and the movies don't deteriorate from continued showings. Even though the technology has been around for years Disney is the first major studio to actually push for digital distribution. According to the LA Times, replacing film prints with digital format movies could save studios up to one billion dollars a year.

Recorded live at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts on July 31, 2004, and released later in the year as a two-CD album titled San Francisco Debut, it's daKAH's second album, following on the heels of Live At California Plaza, Los Angeles, out in early 2004. The L.A.-based aggregation pays homage to and defies musical convention whenever and wherever possible. Let's start with the orchestra's size: daKAH is the world's largest hip-hop group, with 60-65 members on any given gig, including this one at San Francisco's PFA. Getting past daKAH's larger-than-life size, you discover the orchestra's unconventional, experimental approach to combining instrumentation and musical styles. The daKAH lineup includes brass, woodwind and string sections usually associated with classical and jazz; electric piano, guitar, bass and drums from rock, funk and jazz; percussion heard in Latin jazz; hip-hop deejays and MCs workin' turntables and mikes; vocalists who rap, scat, croon and/or get funky; and, when performing live, modern dancers who flip, flop and fly to the beats.
