The infrastructure and tools required to make Linux a green operating system are now in place, according to Linus Torvalds, who was in Melbourne this week attending Australia's largest Linux conference.
The entry of satellite and digital radio into the technological mainstream is increasing tension with the record industry, which wants new rules governing how consumers can make digital copies of songs from the airwaves.
A first wave of malicious software written to piggyback on Sony BMG Music Entertainment CD copy protection tools has been spotted online, computer security companies said Thursday in the United States.
Federal government proposals to allow people to legally copy music from their own CDs to an iPod or MP3 player have attracted mixed views from the industry.
Australia's peak record industry group has moved to clarify its position in the heated debate over personal music copying proposals, saying that they are not opposed to "controlled" copying of music by consumers.
Trying to find a path through the music copy and share debate is a continuing battle, but should it be?
At the rate that MP3 players are shrinking, you might wonder if you should just skip a generation and wait for the implant-sized models that they'll inject into your earlobe. However, if you can't wait, the Panasonic SV-SD75 e-Wear SD Audio Player -- which the company is touting as fashion item -- is about the same size as a four-pack of AAA batteries. But beware: This little player comes with a bit of Big Brother as well.
