London To Host 'Music Hack Day'
,----[ Quote ]
| The inaugural Music Hack Day, an event for the international tech and digital
| music community, is to take place in London this weekend (July 11 to 12).
|
| Bringing together 200 delegates, the two-day event is believed to be the
| first 'hack' type event dedicated exclusively to the music industry. In this
| context, hackers are defined as those who use their expertise to explore the
| possibilities of open-source software rather than those infiltrating and
| damaging secure systems.

Ruling for Salinger, Judge Bans ‘Rye’ Sequel
,----[ Quote ]
| In a victory for the reclusive writer J. D. Salinger, a federal judge on
| Wednesday indefinitely banned publication in the United States of a new book
| by a Swedish author that contains a 76-year-old version of Holden Caulfield,
| the protagonist of “The Catcher in the Rye.”
|
| The judge, Deborah A. Batts, of United States District Court in Manhattan,
| had granted a 10-day temporary restraining order last month against the
| author, Fredrik Colting, who wrote the new novel under the pen name J. D.
| California.

Does Hacking Closed Hardware Hinder Open Hardware?
,----[ Quote ]
| If there's an average customer, I'm not him. I use open and unencumbered
| formats as often as possible. I don't use iTunes. (It won't run natively on
| any OS I use.) I have a few MP3 files, but most of my music I've ripped
| myself from CDs to Ogg Vorbis files.
|
| When I decided to purchase a portable music player, I had three options:
|
| * Transcode my files
| * Find and purchase a player which can play Ogg Vorbis files
| * Purchase and modify a player to play Ogg Vorbis files
