BeOS (and Haiku) has a very powerful filesystem, thanks mostly to its extensive use of attributes and live queries to search through these attributes. In order to access these powerful features over a network, you need a network file system that also supports attributes and queries - cue BeServed, Kevin Musick's network file system. A few weeks ago, the code to BeServed was donated to the Haiku project as open source under a MIT license, so HaikuNews and OSNews decided to interview Kevin Musick together. In addition, Haiku launched the Haiku Code Drive 2008.

All?
Looking at the current front page, only two newsitems use the word 'cue'. So, your point...?
Oh, and technically, there's nothing wrong with using 'cue' in the way that I did in those two items. In most contexts, a 'cue' is a signal for something to begin, words to be spoken, or actions to be taken. In this particular item, for instance, the need for a network filesystem is the cue for BeServed to come on stage - cue BeServed. The need for a NFS cues BeServed to come on stage.
