Salon and their Advertisements

I am all for a company making money, but I visited Salon for the first time today in many many months and found that they forced me to click on a Advertisement to listen to read the article I wanted to read. Not only click it once but click it three times. By the third click I was mad and

Paul Colligan on Podcasting and Microsoft

Paul gives Microsoft some advice on getting podcasting support integrated into windows. Here are my thoughts 1. Unless it comes by default with a computer or gets pushed in a update then I might as well keep on using juice. 2. It needs to have the directory integration built into the application but not like the abomination of a directory

New Podcast Host Picks an Interesting Domain

Unless Adam Curry has spun off a new company I would not want to start a new podcasting service that has his companies name in it. They probably will end up having Curry's Lawyers come down on them for Trademark Abuse. They have decent pricing but the demo looks like they want everything hosted on their site, the question is

FCC Commissioner loves DRM!

Well if the headline isn't enough to make fresh milk sour, I don't know what will. It seems the newest commissioner at the FCC loves DRM and is going to make it her mission to get on a pulpit and use her position to promote DRM. In case you were saying how can she do that, well a lot of

What happens if OS X is made Open Source

Zone Labs needs to go back to the Lab!

I had been a faithful user of Zone Labs for a number of years. I always renewed my license on multiple machines and was generally as happy as any geek would be. But that all changed a year or so ago when Zone Labs who created firewall software that worked decided that they were going to try and become a

Gmail allows you to bypass PDF DRM

I am sure that this will not last long but it appears that you can view PDF files that are protected with DRM via Gmail. I wonder how many previously secure documents are now going to be propagated through out the net. [akira.arts.kuleuven.ac.be]
