iTunes hack disabled 03/22/2005 03:31 PM
A security hole that allowed users of PyMusique software to tap into the iTunes Music Store and purchase songs stripped of antipiracy protections has been closed by Apple. The PyMusique software emerged last week as a copy protection-free back door into the popular iTunes store. One of the creators was Jon Johansen, the Norwegian programmer responsible for releasing DVD-copying software in 1999. Apple released a statement Monday saying the problem had been fixed, and that some iTunes customers would need to upgrade their software."The security hole in the iTunes Music Store which was recently exploited has been closed, and as a consequence the iTunes Music Store will now sell music only to customers using iTunes version 4.7," the company said in a statement.

Wireless Technologies to Help the
Disabled

Wireless Technologies to Help the
Disabled 02/19/2004 03:25 PM
The Georgia Institute of Technologies is working on developing an array of devices, many of them using wireless technologies, to help disabled people: One system uses GPS, a mobile PC, and headphones to help blind people get around. The user programs a destination into the computer then the computer generates sounds that the user perceives to come from a certain direction. The sounds lead the user to the destination. Another project will make switching on lights or changing channels on the TV easier for people with limited motor control. Users can make certain gestures in front of a panel that beams infrared light at a video camera. When the user breaks the light with a gesture, the movement is translated by a computer which comands a household appliance over a wireless network. The researchers are able to work on these projects due to a $5 million, five year federal grant form the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, which was awarded two years ago....

Sexual Services for the Disabled 01/17/2004 10:48 PM
When the taboos of prostitution and sex of the disabled meet, there's bound to be plenty of controversy. In Germany, the Dutch prostitute Nina de Vries stands at the center of this debate. She offers erotic massages to mentally retarded clients and trains others to do the same. Recently she attempted to create a network of sexual caregivers in Zurich and was rebuffed. The article describes her work and the issues involved.

Wirelessly Enabling the Disabled

My latest piece for TheFeature is about researchers at Georgia Tech who are hacking mobile devices and off-the-shelf components to help disabled people become more independent. I'm really intrigued by the wearable "audiitory display," a navigation system for the blind that generates spatially-located sounds as trail-markers for the wearer to follow as they walk somewhere.
