Universal Music CEO is Like Your Cranky, Out-of-Touch Grandpa Who Happens to Run a Huge Record Label

If you picture music industry CEOs as cranky old white men who are completely out of touch with technology and mad at the world for changing around them, you’re pretty damn spot-on.

Universal’s Legal Tangles With YouTube Kill Official Nine Inch Nails Fan Remix Site

If you picked up Nine Inch Nails’Year Zero remix album, 1337-ly titled Y34RZ3r0r3m1x3d, you probably noticed the second disc “halo 25 data,” containing the multitrack master files for every song from Year Zero.

“Toolkit” MPAA Offers Schools to Monitor File-Sharing Traffic More Like a Rootkit

The MPAA is such a kind and giving organization. After compiling a list of the top 25 schools for piracy, it sent them a letter last month offering the free, super-helpful University Toolkit to track naughty file-sharing on their networks. It “can produce a report that is strictly internal and therefore confidential to illustrate the…

Geneva Model M Gives Your iPod Some Wood

Canadians Finally Get TiVo

Every once in a while we read a mundane press release—in this case, announcing that Canada gets TiVo—and just start laughing. Poor Canada is finally getting TiVo service, “just in time for the holiday season.” But that’s not the funniest part. The only hardware available will be the TiVo Series2, standard def, last gen DVR…

Home Trebuchet Kit, a Few Feet Short of Perfection

When we first spotted this Stirling Warwolf Trebuchet kit, we thought our dreams had come true. At last we could defeat our neighbors, if not in a landscaping-off, at least in an old fashioned, purely American arms race. But then we saw the all-too-reasonable price of $189. And we knew this trebuchet was only moderately…

Bank Robbers Are Wearing iPods Now?

Australian police stopped a robbery in Sydney, arresting three men. The funny part?
