No computer port has ever seen as many strange gadgets as the USB port. The newest funstuff ist the USB Hamster Wheel: a small windows software adjusts the speed of the wheel with your typing speed. Of course the wheel comes with a toy hamster ;-)

 

The newest version of myFairTunes is now able to remove DRM from files bought with iTunes 7.
Yes I know this is illegal in many countries and no, I don’t use this software. But anyway I think it’s silly that music is sold with DRM. Before I got an iPod buying msuic on iTunes was really complicated: I had to download the music, then burn it on an audio cd, rip this cd to mp3 and then copy it to my MuVo player. Of course all of this can be done in iTunes, but it’s very complicated compared to an mp3 download via filesharing.
I think that a good musician should get the money he deserves for his music (quote Apple: “don’t steal music”) and thus it is not logical that buying music isn’t the easier way compared to filesharing.
