• Commented on Secret copyright treaty leaks. It's bad. Very bad.
  *sigh* Treaties do not equal laws, and laws to enforce a treaty still have to remain constitutional, for whatever value of "constitutional" applies in your country. I also like how Cory's summary makes a lot of conclusions that don't quite...

• Commented on Why ad-blockers, ad-skippers and other user-control technologies are legal
  I don't run AdBlock. I run NoScript... for security reasons, but it has some pleasant side-effects: Most ads load via javascript. On work machines, outside sites get manually approved and only for that visit. At home, I allow the 1st-party...

• Commented on BBC wants to encrypt "free" TV -- talking points debunked
  From what I can tell, the encryption has nothing to do with the transport streams, it is on the EPG data... an unlicensed set-top box could decode the audio/video just fine, but you wouldn't get any info about the channel...
• Commented on Music downloading penalties are harsher than arson, theft, or starting a dogfighting ring
  One question: Does the $375k for Arson with Doors include the fee for public performance rights? Those numbers are as manufactured as the numbers RIAA dreams up. The only "real" figure I see is the $1.92m, which was awarded by...

• Commented on Amazon Kindle contract sucks
  Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I just can't get into eBooks, or even audiobooks for that matter. Electronic text is fine for reference material, or for works that started in that format... but there's just something special about works...
• Commented on iPhone 3GS: Adequate Filmmaking Tool?
  I get the feeling at least some of it was done in post, but the lighting and soft focus of "Love Love Love" is simply amazing. Oh, I have a 3GS, but I'm definitely no videographer, so I can tell...

• Commented on Apple earbuds: Which is the fake?
  redshirt - on the headset w/ mic the L/R are on the inward-facing side of the earbuds, and the fakes do have them. You know what? I'd gladly pay $14 for "Ritz mock Apple earbuds". They can't possibly sound worse...
