Think Restriction

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

Simon Phipps has a great article on DRM. It’s worth a read.
If people are wondering why people such as Simon, Cory, and myself keep harping on about DRM, then you should consider its impact on gadgets. What major corporations are trying to do is restrict how you use the products you buy. Think Sony’s use […]

Cory Doctorow Becomes Blog-O-Matic

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

I was amazed, as were many others, when Cory Doctorow announced that he was leaving the EFF. Not that I blame him, I could never figure out how he fit in his work, blogging, writing, podcasting, and travelling; he must have sacrificed something to accomplish it all.

Australian Blog Awards Open For Voting

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

Being slightly slow on the uptake (writing books really does suck up the time), I’ve just noticed that The 2006 Australian Blog Awards has opened their ballots.
