The news I’d like to share with you today comes from this article. It talks about Hollywood studios requesting that digital TVs be designed with anti-piracy technology in place. Ok that’s fair, they don’t want people stealing stuff. However, I take issue with their threatening response to the FCC’s comment about how they can’t dictate how televisions or other similar devices are designed. I quote: “Hollywood studios say the ruling, if upheld, would discourage them from producing first-rate shows for over-the-air TV.”
Their comment would sort of imply they were shipping out first-rate shows right now. In which case I say to Hollywood BRING IT! Let’s see the second and third rate shows. If they lack plot, humor, drama, good acting they’re still not shocking me yet.
It would have been a much better threat if Hollywood had said the following: “The ruling, if upheld, would discourage them from continuing to flood the television with non-stop images of scantily clad attractive people attempting to act or avoid being voted off the island.”
They could have gone one further, if they really wanted to get something done. Hollywood COULD have said “In place of our first-rate programming, we will begin flooding over-the-air television with a veritable deluge of scantily clad, horrendously unattractive people.”
Such a threat would have one of two effects. Either a, it would help continue the transition many people are making towards cable and satellite for entertainment or b, it would shut down pirating activities at once.
I hope someone in Congress sees the merit of my solution, seeing as the battle over anti-piracy technology is now in their hands.

After a quick listen in on 
the new name for Return of The Screen Savers) I heard about and visited a site which put a quick smile on my face.

iPods are beautiful, a piece of true art. They come in different shapes and sizes, each of their curves appear to have been perfectly formed by a master craftsman. There’s a certain elegance that one experiences when an iPod walks into the room (or is pulled out of a pocket).
Sony’s PSP has been spanning the internet since its release date of 12:00am March 24, 2005. 
Indeed, any device that is so small, with so many features can only achieve this with some trade-offs. The iAudio 5 is no exception. For starters, there are too many ways to boost the bass: through the equalizer, the BBE, and the Mach 3 Bass. At least one could be eliminated to simplify adjustments. The manual does not explain many of the features and only has 20 pages in each language and left me wanting for more. There is a learning curve to navigating around comfortably using the two toggle switches, but I was comfortable after about 2 days. The buttons are on the smaller side, and users with larger fingers may have some difficulty. Speaking of smaller, the info on the display is very small as well. I was frustrated that I could not build playlists from the device. Also, there is no removable storage slot to expand the memory so I recommend you buy the larger 512 MB or 1 GB model. The player takes several seconds to start up, or shut down, which delays the start of the music. Audiophiles (as with just about all players they buy) will want to upgrade the headphones to a
