The Morning Reboot:
- Blu-Ray DRM has been cracked. The HD-DVD competitor no longer needs to feel left out. The same person who cracked HD-DVD DRM has applied the technique to Blu-Ray and found that it works.
- Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and some others have apparently been working with human rights groups and legal experts to devise a code of conduct for protecting online free speech and privacy. I'm pretty sure that's not a joke. Perhaps Google just doesn't consider China part of the internet.
- A virus spread through spam emails with subject lines like “Fidel Castro dead” and “Saddam Hussein safe and sound” has infected thousands of computers according to Spain's Association of Internauts. Wait a sec, there's an Association of Internauts?
- Rumor: Techcrunch reports that the domain google.de was down for "many hours" yesterday possibly because Google forgot to renew the domain name. If that's true is sure makes me feel better about the two domains I lost for the same reason.
- This just in: DRM still sucks.
