EFF: DeepLinks
EFF: DeepLinks
Need to know which CDs to avoid this holiday season? Wonder if you already have purchased a CD with a root kit? (You still buy CDs?)
The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has a listing of the known CD's which have the root kit on them. I would expect this listing to grow as there are rumors circulating that some other labels are using similar technology and the company that actually programmed the root kit is still selling the core technology to other companies, and it is doubtful they will stop anytime soon.
Now... This just makes you want to run out and buy some CDs doesn't it? I had a membership to BMG; which I just canceled and I had not purchased a CD in some time, I do have a Yahoo Music subscription but the music companies and collectively RIAA continue to be there own worst enemies.

Sony's problems just for worse by an order of magnitude. I have been too busy to really follow this story but this will be an interesting one, which will have long reaching after effects for the entire music industry.

My, oh, My... I knew this day was coming but I though it would be a while yet before it arrived. DRM and media companies going too far. This links to Mark Russinovich's blog, where he has uncovered Sony doing some very unscrupulous actions and where because of their actions they are actually able to cause harm to a system. Which company is next?
Better yet, how to combat this when most of the people who need to combat behaviours such as this do not understand the even basics of technology... Many more questions than answers.

NFL Week 8
Well it was bound to happen. A set back, but not a loss. Despite most of my FF team being banged up, my QB scratching, and a goose egg from a WR I managed to squeak out with a tie at 7-0-1
