CableCard and Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Mythbuntu, an Ubuntu-based MythTV distro, made an April Fools'
| Day Joke this year about Microsoft opening up CableCard
| development and that CableCards would soon be supported under
| Linux. Sadly, the next day was a heartfelt tragedy after the
| truth was realized.
|
| Maybe someday I'll be able to watch digital cable from my
| desktop.

British Library Turns Traitor
,----[ Quote ]
| This once-great institution used to be about opening up the world's knowledge
| for the benefit and enjoyment of all: today, it's about closing it down so
| that only those who can afford to pay get to see it.
|
| What an utter disgrace.

Amazon ate my homework, or why DRM stinks for education
,----[ Quote ]
| The phrase âAmazon ate my homeworkâ may certainly have been uttered on more
| than one occasion since the New York Times reported on Amazonâs deletion of
| specific editions of George Orwellâs Animal Farm and 1984 from Kindle e-book
| readers (and no, the irony wasnât lost on anybody). Unless you live under a
| rock, you know that this has been a bit of a discussion topic in the
| blogosphere. However, the first time Iâd heard it put that way was in an
| email exchange on which I was lurking today, when Daniel Dern, an independent
| technology writer, made specific reference to the notes/annotations lost by a
| particular student.
