Recall of Sony CD's

Posted on by

Sony has announced it will recall 18 CD’s that have its rootkit technology. Details will be released soon.

About time. Now how about an uninstall program that doesn’t phone home and that actually restores a computer back to its former state?

I hope all forms of DRM get a serious revaluation after this episode. Content is not meant to have restrictions.

Sony should also post a press release on their site and needs to put a noticeable notice on the front of its website. I just checked their site and neither has happened yet.

FolderShare

FolderShare looks like a killer application. Basically it syncs files between computers using P2P technology.

So for example, you could keep an exact copy of your music folder on both of your computers, automatically synced as you add music. Or say you want to be able to access files from work at home.

Pretty cool just reading about it. I might check this out.
