  • 1. Another way around DRM
    As Apple and other makers of players add new features, and many people buy new players to get those new features, a lot of people end up owning multiple players. It occurs to me that a group of friends and acquaintances could pool together their old players, and use them as carries for passing around DRMed media. E.g., if I want to loan a friend an audiobook, I could just grab an old iPod, put the book on it, and give that iPod to the friend. That friend, after listening, could wipe it and use it for loaning one of his books to someone, and so on. As players come down in price (iPod shuffle starts at $49 now), I could even see people keeping a couple around just for this. I wonder what the publishers would think of this? -- --Tim Smith

Linux keeps growing in HPC. I've just realised that Linux is up from 86% to 92%
in just a few months (Windows declines/stays the same at 1%). Wow. Talk about
reversal of roles...
