techn apple Bye bye Nokia: I want an iPhone

First Wii, then this. I thought I wanted a Nokia 770. It’s a real innovation in its own category, especially the community approach to development. Yesterday Steve Jobs pulled his trick once again and turned around an industry he had never touched before, smartphones. No keyboard. Multi-touch. iPod included. As Jobs says, existing smartphones are not even smart. Apple’s iPhone seems to reinvent the phone. I expect Nokia didn’t see this coming. Apple went to great lengths to keep iPhone secret.

Windows Media DRM10 Cracked?

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2005

Afterdawn.com has an interesting article about
a rumor that Windows Media DRM has been cracked. Two programs are circulating, claiming to be able to unprotect
the protected media files. Here we go… There is always a way to circumvent a copy protection as long as the user
has access to the protected file and is able to play it on the same machine without a third party (network connection
to some verification server). It’s only a matter of time.
