Jon Johansen, also known as DVD Jon, has once again attacked Apple's method of protecting iTunes bought from the Music Store. The Norwegian programmer famous for breaking the encryption software that protected and localized DVDs, has found a way of buying digital rights management-free tracks using his PyMusique application. Since the iTunes Music Store adds the digital rights management tag after a track has been bought and downloaded, Johansen has devised a front-end that, according to engadget, "conveniently neglects to wrap the file with any copy protection."

Apple said Wednesday that its iTunes Music Store set a new download record of 3.3 million songs in the week since the third-generation store was introduced. 500,000 of those downloads came in the form of free songs from popular commercial artists made available as part of a "Free Song of the Day" promotion to celebrate the store's one-year anniversary. Last week Apple said the iTunes Music Store currently sells 2.7 million songs per week. Subtracting the free songs, this suggests that the store's weekly business may have been slightly more brisk than usual.

iTunes Music Store

iTunes Music Store 07/05/2004 02:15 PM

I used the iTunes Music Store for the first time today. I actually didn't want to install it, but Apple is bundling it with QuickTime these days, so you have to get one to get the other. Then my wife, Annie, heard about it, and she wanted to try it.

It was a great experience. It's pretty much a matter of creating an account, finding a song, then clicking "Buy Song." You can even surpress the "Do you really want this song?" warning so you can just click with wild abandon, racking up $0.99 charges right and left.

The real test came when I taught Annie how to use it (because, you know, you can never have enough Celine Dion). She took to it right away. The search has a spellcheck feature, which is handy when trying to spell "Alanis Morrissette," and the idea of double-clicking a song to hear a clip is very intutive. Annie doesn't know the names of any of the songs she likes, but she knows what they sound like, so she just kept double-clicking until she heard what she wanted, then she hit "Buy Song."

The only glitch we ran into was that we first fired it up under my Windows account, logging into iTunes as Annie. Now, when we open iTunes under Annie's Windows account, again logging in to iTunes under her account, none of the "Purchased Music" we bought under my Windows account is there. For some reason, the purchased music is tied to a specific Windows account, not an iTunes account. I'm not quite sure what to do about this — if you know, drop me a line.

Some music isn't available as single tracks, for some reason. For instance, Annie wanted a song off the De-lovely soundtrack, but it was marked "Album Only." Depressing, but I'm sure there's some high-powered business reason for it.

We haven't tryed burning anything to a CD yet, but when I do, I'll let you all know how it goes. Hats off to Apple — iTunes is a great piece of work.

Reminds me of the time the Malaysian government sent a software team to Canada to do technology transfer for a flight simulator system. After spending 2 years in Canada, they returned, and i asked one of the team members how the Canadian coders designed this powerful and complex system. I was expecting some detailed software methodology involving multiple phases. He told me, "they just hire a bunch of talented programmers, teach them the physics, and tell them to hack!"

I posted this comment a few weeks ago, but i never clarified what i thought of this quotation - until now...

Let's say you learnt a subject really well, and were asked to teach others. You enjoy teaching and others admire your teaching style. Then one day, you throw away all your notes and teach off-the-cuff, from memory. You have to really know your stuff before you'd dare do that.

We'll that's what I think George Carrette meant by "Just Hack". If you don't know your stuff inside-out, upside-down and every-which-way, "Just Hack" is probably not for you.

Salon has an article about Hackers on Atkins, and in a shameless display of self-aggrandizement, yours truly is featured in the company of uber-bloggers Cory Doctorow and Doc Searls. As my brother smirked to me in an email response after reading the article, "four overweight guys lose weight! stop the presses!", my response was to quote from Cory in the article:

"Maybe it will make us all grow third arms and go blind in 20 years," quips Doctorow. "It's sort of hard to tell. It represents a kind of hacker's approach, grounded as it is in jack-legged engineering rather than science."

The only other thing that I want to make clear about Atkins is that it clearly isn't for everybody. It is a radical change in eating habits, not well-suited for everyone, especially vegetarians. I can only speak from my own personal experience that it works for me.

Where librarians go to hack

Where librarians go to hack 05/03/2004 07:24 PM
Proving you can never be too pedantic (in a good way, mind you), I bring you hacker librarians:

There is a subculture of librarians that could make a significant impact on the profession. They are women and men, youthful and experienced alike, who all share one thing: a passion for solving problems by creating software. They are hacker librarians.

Hacker librarians are not afraid to configure and install software. They do not shrink from writing a program in whatever flavor of 'P' language they favor, from Perl to Python, with the hardiest even tackling Java and C++. Beyond enjoying the hunt for the right solution, they like to create solutions with colleagues and appreciate those who can provide knowledge about user needs and experiences.

For instance, most of our default templates display archive links in a list. But really, the archive tags simply provide the names and URLs of all the archive files, and we can do whatever we want with them. Do you know how to make a pull-down menu in HTML? Think that might be a more efficient format for your three years of daily archives? Great! Move the archive tags out of the list and into a menu.
