EFF Compiles Endangered Gizmos List

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gone-the-way-of-div dept.

Hungry Student writes "The EFF has published an "Endangered Gizmos" list of technology that is at risk of extinction from the lobbyists of the entertainment industry. Extinct species include DVD X-Copy and Napster 1.0. Among those fighting for survival are Morpheus and HDTV tuner cards. The BBC has commentary on this as well." From the article: "The EFF intends the list to be part of a wider educational and awareness project, and it will be updated regularly as more gadgets and technologies are saved or killed off."

    Dupe, yep.

    Also on the list, the PC; Microsoft will make you NOT want to use your PC, Palm, CellPhone, Console game unit, home entertainment media Center, Car OSes, etc. What are we left with? Time with our family, face to face... =)

    You're implying that the editors actually read the articles. Everyone knows that WE don't RTFA, why should the editors?

    The first one was obviously the project planning page, they obviously have source code to compile now.

    Give it a couple of weeks we'll see the first alpha of this list!

    smile, its Friday
