A well-known
programmer has released an
application to the Web, which
allows users to defeat the anti-copying measures underpinning
Apple's iTunes
downloading service .
The application, QTFairUse, removes the digital rights management (
DRM ) layer from the target sound file, using a QuickTime
stream, leaving the music untouched and capable of infinite
copying.
Based on the name and Web commentary, the goal of the hack is to
promote the creator's notion of fair use . Some suspect a Windows iTunes
version is on the
way .

06/17/2004 11:24 AMOnce upon a time, publishing was the domain of large corporations.
Then came desktop publishing and the tools to produce a book shrank
from the cost of an aircraft carrier to the price tag of a PT boat.
Now, small publishers on the bleeding edge of technology are fomenting
a revolution that may change the publishing market forever. Open
source publishing tools, long derided as not being ready for battle,
are proving themselves in the trenches of small publishing.

05/16/2004 12:24 PMFor all of the FUD that some are eager to spread about Free Software
and Open Source, the real truth is that the purveyors of such tripe
are truly fearful that you might learn the simple object lesson: a
long and happy life is filled with learning. They want you to believe
that you are too ignorant to understand new ideas, and that your
capacity for learning has eluded you. They need you to believe that
you are too lazy to make an effort to think for yourself. Don't buy
that idea, for it is nothing more than an abdication of your
obligations. Try to learn something new every day, no matter how
small, for it will sharpen your mind and rejuvenate your spirit.

Last night, I've been thinking about Russell's
post on PSP in which he wrote:
So I snagged Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow this weekend via
BitTorrent and
then converted it to run on my PSP.
Actually, it wasn't that he snagged a major movie off BitTorrent
that had me thinking.
He wouldn't have been able to unless it wasn't a common albeit
illegal and shadowy activity.
What had me thinking was his response to the obvious questions:
I simply described an activity that many, many people are already
doing with or without
me. Do you really think that not talking about this sort of illegal
use of BitTorrent
is going to somehow protect it?
While my answer to his question is no, I do think talking in public
about illegal
activities does somehow cause changes, changes which the affected
or interested parties
(i.e. MPAA, FBI) may consider extremely harmful and thus proceed to
counter by setting
examples.
Based on my mutated theory of ying and yang, what belongs in
the shadow should
stay in the shadow. Failing to do so leads to chaos.

Mind Wide Open excerpt
Mind Wide Open excerpt
02/18/2004 10:53 AMSalon is running a long excerpt from Steven Johnson's mindblowing new
book,
Mind Wide Open, which I read last week and have been returning
to in my thoughts several times a day. Johnson takes apart the jargon
and theory of various kinds of brain and mind science and exposes us
to a bunch of aha! moments about the physiological, evolutionary and
non-material bases for our thought processes. Reading this book, you
get this curious form of vertigo in which you begin to see your brain
as a collection of chemicals and processes and physiological
serendipities, and then realize that that very same collection of goo
is the thing that is having this realization, and boy, that's a weird
goddamned feeling. As for me, after reading this I'm in the market
for a cheap travel-sized USB neurofeedback EEG.
Areas that do show noticeable changes appear on the images as a
cluster of bright yellow pixels, fading out to orange and red at their
peripheries. The images look strikingly like the Doppler radar images
you see on the Weather Channel. (If you blur your eyes a little, you
might think that yellow patch on the image was a thunderhead, not a
brainstorm.) The image is projected over a grid with numbers running
along each axis. The numbered grid and the slices create a
three-dimensional system of coordinates, the latitude and longitude of
neuromapping. The grid is made up of small cubes called "voxels," and
each voxel has a specific address.
Joy begins by laying down the twenty-five slices for stage one of our
experiment, the dreaded checkerboard. The pattern of activity is
immediately visible, even to my untutored eyes, mostly because there's
literally nothing going on in 95 percent of my brain. Only a thin band
wrapping around the back of my head, roughly at ear level, glows
yellow.
"We know that the flashing checkerboard is a very salient stimulus for
just the visual processing areas of the brain," she says. "And that's
exactly what's happening here."

In 1999, the World
Wide Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee looked back on the previous
decade and lamented: “I wanted the Web to be what I call an
interactive space where everybody can edit. And I started saying
‘interactive,’ and then I read in the media that the Web was great
because it was ‘interactive,’ meaning you could click. This was
not what I meant by interactivity.” That vision of a genuinely
interactive environment rather than “a glorified television
channel”—one in which people not only would browse pages but also
would edit them as part of the process—did not disappear with the
rise of the read-only Web browser.1 It’s churning away more actively
than ever, in a vivid and chaotic Web-within-the-Web, via an anarchic
breed of pages known as “wikis.”. This has been added to my Wikis
section in Bots, Blogs and News

There are several word processors in GNU/Linux, each with different
goals and features. Some are free software, some are based on free
software, some are proprietary. What do you, as an amateur or
professional writer, need to consider in such programs when moving to
GNU/Linux? If you're not entirely satisfied with your current word
processor or if you're wondering what's available on the GNU/Linux
platform in terms of word processors, this article's for you.

conference underway this week in San Francisco, there is finally a
sure-fire sign that this may be the case: Microsoft won't be there.

Real
and France's Virgin claim that they deserve to be able to sell their
music on Apple's iPod. To prove they're serious, Virgin Mega has
filed a complaint against Apple to do so. Perhaps I'm missing
something here, but last I checked it wasn't anybody's responsibility
to open up their product or service to purposely allow the competition
in. That is, of course, unless the government steps in. Are Real and
Virgin Mega just being whiny little brats, angered that they're not
invited to the party? What are legitimate reasons for the legal system
to get involved and to rule in favor of such plaintiffs? While the
obvious Microsoft may come to mind, are there other examples you can
think of? As for me, I'd like to hand out copies of "Atlas
Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead" to both Real and
Virgin Mega...

The WINE configuration gurus
over at Codeweavers have
announced that their next version of Crossover Office will allow iTunes to play nicely on your Linux box.
For those unfamiliar with the product, Crossover Office allows MS
Office, Photoshop, and many other Windows programs to run quite nicely
on your Linux boxen.
"iTunes has been our No. 1 most requested application,"
CodeWeavers CEO Jeremy White said in a statement. "We remain confident
that by the end of 2005, the majority of Windows applications will be
supported by CrossOver Office. Until then, we're pleased to be
bringing the appeal of iTunes to Linux users through the development
of version 3.1."
That's quite a feat, given the fact that the audio subsystem in
Linux is a little tough to get going in the first place (at least on
my machines).
