<FCC Mandates New Anti-Piracy Software ... (Dec 02 2003 10:57 GMT) - <FCC Mandates New Anti-Piracy Software for Digital TVsStarting in July 2005 it may be harder for you to copy TV shows for your friends. The FCC is mandating that all digital TV manufacturers install an anti-piracy program called a broadcast flag.

See MSN's articleWill the Broadcast Flag Break Your TiVo? |

02.12.2003: Nelly Furtado (Dec 02 2003 10:57 GMT) - Gerade drber gestolpert: Nelly Furtado (nette Website), die vor ein paar Jahren verdientermaen sehr erfolgreich war ("I'm Like A Bird", "Turn Off The Light"), hat eine neue CD auf den Markt gebracht - "Folklore". Glaubt man den Kundenrezensionen bei Amazon und dem Review bei LAUT, scheint es sich um richtig gute Musik zu handeln - weit weg vom bekannten und berall gespielten Chart-Mll. Auf der Website kann man sich brigens den Song "Powerless - Say what you want" anhren und das entsprechende Video anschauen. Keine Kommentare |

A Word Warning for Holiday Tech Purchasers (Dec 02 2003 10:54 GMT) - A word of warning for all you holiday buyers: be sure to read the latest return policies at your local electronics reseller. I picked up a Veo Observer networked webcam to use as a baby-cam a few weeks ago at CompUSA. Unfortunately it doesn't work in low-light like it's supposed to, and the frame rate was horrible, so I took it back for a return today. It was then that I learned CompUSA now charges 15% restocking fee on all merchandise, regardless of mint condition return. |
