Sony’s rootkit "solution"

I’ve not posted anything regarding the recent discovery of Sony using RootKit technology to hide its DRM on some music CDs since it’s a little out of my usual scope. However, this article from BetaNews talks about how Sony has released an “update” to the DRM software that “unhides” but doesn’t remove the DRM for your computer. I followed the link to the Sony site with the update to find some more information and when I clicked on the link to the update itself I got this:

Well, it seems that only IE users have the ability to get the “solution” to a piece of software that was installed on their computer without their permission. Way to go Sony.

Muppet stamps

Muppet Stamps
Picked these up at the post office this morning. I almost don’t want to actually use them because they’re so wonderfully designed. Be sure to pick up a set just to read the back of the sheet. Each of the featured muppets have things to say about the stamps.

Meta Feed

While listening to an episode of the Web 2.0 podcast on the way home I got an idea. Using Feed Digest I’ve created a single page/feed that shows the last 20 items from my flickr, Reader², and del.icio.us accounts along with my main blog & the Satellite Libraries blog. This way anyone who wants to keep track of what I’m up to doesn’t need to either subscribe to five individual feeds or bookmark five different pages.

Please try it out and let me know what you think.
