Happy anniversary Mick and Cam. One year ago today we we’re treated to your brash Aussie humour on the first G’Day World. Great work on not only keeping it going for a year, but starting up TPN.

A bunch of reports are being posted on the net of the Xbox 360 crashing. The screen grab comes from a video you can find here, showing the system freezing with lovely static lines through the image.

For fans of podcasts and DRM free music (and lets face it, who isn’t ;)), then listeners are in for a treat.
A friend of mine and fellow podcaster, Jade Leary, has just released his latest album in a digital pack format. What does that mean, well you can grab the whole album in 160kbps VBR […]

The fall out continues for Sony with more legal action in train. I think the most articulate response is by a good friend, Simon Phipps. Check out his blog post titled Another “Kryptonite” case?.

I’m loving the fallout from Sony’s XCP copy protection software.
To boil it down, Sony has placed some software on its audio CDs. This software uses subversive methods to plant itself on your computer so that it can prevent you from making more than three backup copies of any XCP-protected CD. Lets state this plainly. Sony, […]
