In one of the more recent issues of a Fantastic Four comic, there was a villain named Klaw. This particular villain has a device that utilizes sound to create physical objects, including himself in some weird turn of events.
In the story, someone else steals his power essentially ridding himself of his own existence. Well one [...]
FairUse4WM only removed the restrictions up until now. The DRM is cracked and users of version 1.3 of the FairUse4WM software are reporting that the new software completely removes the DRM from Zune music.
I don’t like DRM, never did and I think many consumer like me feels the same way about it. Apple and EMI finally step up to the plate offering high quality and DRM-free music on iTunes. EMI has made their music available without restrictions with slightly higher price at $1.29/€1.29/£0.99 per track. If you have [...]
Now I’m neither an iTunes nor a Windows Media Center user, but I know a lot of people would love to be able to play their DRM-encrypted music library from the former through the lounge-friendly interface of the latter. Unfortunately, encrypted music can’t currently be streamed that way, at least not without the addition of [...]
Oh dear. Just when I’d got all excited again about Zune, on the premise that only DRM-encrypted audio would be subject to the draconian 3 days/3 plays policy, one of Zune’s PR contacts got in touch to let us know that, in fact, all audio will expire according to those limits.

She’s saying that her “Words Gear” e-book has a colour screen and a fancy, touch-sensitive navigation grip. She’s probably even casting doubts on your parentage, [...]
In the world of the future, we’ll all ride on the backs of giant robot weasels, eat food that was grown on Mars and freeze-dried into the shape of Peter Falk’s head, and read our books from the flicker-free screens of electronic books. “Electronic books?!” I hear your scoff, “are you a mad person with [...]
Well, that didn’t take too long. While millions of happy iTunes users were thrilled at the release of iTunes 7 (the first really worthy upgrade, in my opinion, since iTunes 5), QTFairUse/myFairTunes6 users all collectively groaned in unison; a new iTunes, of course, means changes to the DRM scheme, rendering their fair-use programs useless. Fortunately, [...]
In the world where iTunes rule, many other companies trying to take a jab at Apple for its success on delivering digital music and videos to the users. Now MySpace is jumping on the bandwagon to sell music on its website. MySpace have a big user base with over 100 millions members. Many artists and [...]
