Ahh, Predictions (Dec 22 2005 00:48 GMT) - I just ran across the first prediction page for next year (well, at least the first one I've seen). The first item is highly amusing: Mozilla will release an upgrade to Thunderbird that interfaces to gmail through an API, and has full support of labels, archiving, etcHmm. I hate to break it to you, but that happened, a long while back. Gmail is available via pop and smtp already (which is how I use it). |

Texas Extends Sony Lawsuit To Include MediaMax CDs (Dec 22 2005 00:47 GMT) - Texas was the first state to sue Sony over the company's use of the XCP rootkit, and it looks like the state is continuing to lead the fight against Sony BMG. The Attorney General's office there has apparently been paying attention to folks looking at Sony BMG's other copy protection technology, SunnComm's MediaMax technology, that has many problems as well. Texas has now expanded the lawsuit to cover CDs using MediaMax, noting that they appear to violate a state law about installing software on someone's computer without approval. It's worth remembering, of course, that Sony BMG has still made no effort to recall the CDs with MediaMax on them -- even though they've been shown to have serious security vulnerabilities. |
