    hrbrmstr writes "Years ago, we used to enjoy the looping Yule Log video on WPIX (a.k.a. WB11) out of New York. Well, they've brought it up to modern times by making it available for download. You can use it on your iPod with Video or with anything that can do MPEG-4 video. The resolution isn't great (hey, it's for the iPod), but you can let it loop while you're sharing time with friends/family this weekend. (They even have four bits of holiday music you can stream while watching the video)."

    WC as Kato writes "The U.S. Attorney's Office said it has busted a huge cable piracy ring. They made over $10 million in 5 years by advertising on the Internet and in magazines. Their only cover to the illegality of their actions was a disclaimer that the boxes were not illegal to own. Police say customers who purchased them are now at risk of being arrested. Did any customer actually fall for their 'legal disclaimer?'"
