Dark side of the Force

U.S. citizens have won another round against a group of Satan's minions known as the RIAA. Red Dragon sent an article from PCWORLD that tells how the courts have once again rejected an appeal to force an ISP to turn over their customer lists to these evil creeps. If you purchase recorded music then you are putting money in the RIAA coffer. Stop it! And don't pirate music! Send emails to your favorite artists and encourage them to sell their stuff on their own web sites. Let's choke the very life out of the music nazis that keep prices up and are busy terrorizing people. Remember, they prosecuted a 12 year old girl. They tormented an 80 year old couple and laughed about it in the courtroom. These folks are as low as the spyware people and that is LOW. Thanks RD for a great heads up from a good publication.

Darth Jobs is at it again. Apple is suing website ThinkSecret for leaking info about their upcoming under-$500.00 Mac slated to arrive at your local orchard in the near future. Reuters has a good article about it. People, who really cares about Apple? This is just another goofy antic from Steve Jobs. Keep this in mind, Apple makes it almost impossible to replace a battery in the wayyyyyy overated iPods and then charges $100.00 when you send it back to them for the new battery. But hey, if you want 2 year old technology on a slow machine from a company that can only penetrate 3% of the market because they are so overpriced, by all means go buy an Apple computer. At least Jobs had the good sense to finally "steal" a decent operating system (new Apple OS's are based on FreeBSD). Good luck to the folks at ThinkSecret.
