The good thing about this approach is that, unlike capturing the audio, it accesses it before the AAC stream has been decompressed, meaning that you don't have to recompress it, adding artefacts.
Yeah but the bad thing about this approach is it further encourages companies to dream of a future Trusted Computing world. While it's nice to be able to remove the DRM, it would be much nicer if that was done by actually cracking the DRM and releasing the code. THAT would help to prove to companies that DRM is fundamentally insecure and encourage them to drop the whole idea.
Hacking an applications or OS vulnerability = OKAY Cracking the DRM itself = much better
left the Windows-based player market to the four big players -- SanDisk, Samsung, Sony, and Creative."
Strangely iTunes and iPods also work just fine on Windows. Was he attempted to say Windows-centric? Mac-ignoring perhaps? Or did he mean based on PlaysForSure? Microsoft Sponsored? Windows-only? Obviously they aren't all running Win CE.
For those of you here who are into video... maybe you noticed at the end of the demo the blue screen with the names coming up from the bottom. There are lines going down from the words in a striping pattern. Would anyone care to point out how those artifacts are caused? Is it in his analog to digital converter or is it simply from his compression methods?
Now, it probably is a Good Thing that it isn't blessed, because the last thing we want is another viral license that also happens to be incompatible with GPL. (The patent retaliation makes it GPL-incompatible.) Life is hard enough figuring out Open Source license as it is.
I highly doubt that. More likely they're hoping someone else like you will think it's innocent and OSI compliant, and accidentally taint the Linux kernel with some of it's code. Having the OSI go over it would give programmers a clear warning to not mix licenses with this code.
Link is a leftie? Dang I never noticed that one... stupid right-handed me. Well no biggie, they won't force us to play leftie, we're not smart enuff for it.:-)
They'd BETTER allow Link to hold the sword in his left hand and sheild on the right if the player is a leftie. I'm NOT, but I would want to switch back and forth to work on ambidexriousness and keep my arms a bit more balanced. Man I just realized, with THIS controller the Wii could support lefties in all games and become THE official leftie gaming console! I hope someone at Nintendo has already added this to Zelda and other games or some people are going to be really disappointed.

First of all WWDC stands for World Wide DEVELOPER Conference. People keep asking about iPods and updated Mac minis, but they're missing the point that this isn't the place to intro new consumer goods.
Secondly, everybody is being stalled by the media companies as they try to avoid the situation the music industry is in right now. Those deals are still being worked out as we speak. The technology is ready, it's just the legal stuff holding it back.
XCode 3.0 let's you "rewind" programs while debugging. No more stepping through and accidentally stepping over a point. Just hit rewind and go back o the part of the program you missed. Huh! Guess it's dumping everything to disk while you run it.
Also the Xray program seems kinda neat, shows your application performance sorta like it was running in GarageBand, you can hit different spots and see what was going on right there. The screen at the bottom is hard to see, but that's Xray stepping into a spot on an App named PictureFrame.

Yeah yeah, but this may be my best chance of ever getting my question answered.:-)
When I was a kid, I have vague memories of seeing a movie at my grandparent's house. These might actually be two different movies I've mentally merged together, but here's the two scenes I remember.
A ship in a sea of fog can't see anything, and they're not moving. Looking down they're trapped in seaweed. Either the fog clears a bit or they start to cross the seaweed on foot, they use axes to chop the huge cables, in the distance you can see wreckage of old ships caught in the seaweed which goes on as far as the horizon. They might have used snow-shoes to walk on it.
Secondly, people on an island near the shore, being chased by 10 foot honeybees.
I probably remember this from the early to mid-80's, old movie or movies here. Anybody recognize this?
Whoah guys, I just checked this one out and I must say... NOT WORK SAFE!
Okay, so you've been warned. I thought ya know, Hawking and his buddy were into some sort of high-priced real-estate investing and then WHOAH... like... wow. NOT what I expected.
Interesting how they are using hypnosis to do these experiments... I mean I'd think understanding hypnosis first would tell a lot more about the brain than just the deja vu bit. I mean, who didn't already know Deja vu was when you THOUGHT you saw something before and you didn't. HELLO! That's the definition of it! They haven't actually discovered anything from what I the article mentioned.

I love Zune
Zune Zooney
I can send my songs to me
With a great big brick
It's bigger than my shoe
Won't you say you want a Zune?
I love Core
Duo 2
Makes my pooter fast as foo
With a great big cache
O(N) becomes O(2)
My box won't need C Oh 2.
Slashdot prepare for lawyer assault!
No but this does.
I love sue
Sue happy
Litigatious family
With a great big team
Of lawyers just for you
Don't you say I'm Anti-foo!

Thanks.
Dude there's only one toe on each foot, it's supported by pinkies and piggies.
Oh, right, this is Slashdot. Where the only way to make it to the front page is to post stories that tear people apart and result in holy wars.
OUCH!!! The original articles tore my left toe off, now you've gone and linked to them further tearing off my RIGHT TOE! Thanks a lot buddy.
Naw naw.... his name was Brody... uhhh... BUDDY!
The best part is watching them flop on the ground like Kid Syndrome being ejected from Mr. Incredible's car.

Yeah I know, nobody got my joke. Thought it was pretty good myself. :-) Turn the computer upside down... heh... WOOSH!
Sometimes after I'd installed a new 3.5" floppy drive in a system the activity light would come on immediately and stay on forever when booted.
I'm sure some of you already know what I'm talking about here.... You have to take the floppy drive out and turn the computer UPSIDE DOWN!
Yeah... Sounds crazy I know, but it worked every time!

the ginourmous Spotlight and Universal Access icons? Betcha one of those Top Secret features is a scalable UI with 512x512 icon support. At last!
Like this
Let's not forget that story about Apple suggesting scalable graphics in webpages.
