The guy originally behind cracking the code that now allows DVDs to be copied, has now come up with the technology that allows songs bought through iTunes to be played on other MP3 players, not just the iPod. At present, any song bought from iTunes can only be played on an iPod due to the Fairplay encryption technology used by Apple.

Jon Lech Johansen’s technology is well within legal bounds and he is looking at selling it to other music stores interested in giving iTunes a run for their money through a more open competition for legal MP3 downloads.

I read about the story here. Thankfully we don’t have to worry about the iTunes music store, as Apple has not even managed to grace our shores and when questioned has said the intention has never been there.

The Windows Vista operating system contains significant technology innovations that enhance desktop deployment. Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE) 2.0 is the core deployment foundation for Windows Vista. Windows PE can make large-scale, customized deployments of Windows Vista notably easier, and it enables users to inject drivers, configure Windows Vista offline, provide recovery solutions, and diagnose and troubleshoot system problems. Join this webcast to learn more about the capabilities of Windows PE. Original Broadcast Date: Tuesday, October 24, 2006

Might be time to get a new phone - I see that there are several on the Vodafone network that I can choose from that can have Flash Lite 1.1 installed to it. I’m partial to clam phones, being a girly girl and all - and besides phones in Japan there were never any to choose from in New Zealand that were clam and Flash Lite compatible. Correct me if I’m wrong?

Several Flash Lite usergroups around the world have combined to organize a Flash Lite Contest. The deadline is February 28, 2007 and there are mobile phones, an iRiver and Adobe software up for grabs - so definitely worth submitting your work.

Last year Zodal was in the top 5 with our Hakamania mobile phone and internet connected game.

Good Luck everyone!

NZTE in Christchurch host monthly breakfasts with a range of speakers from New Zealand’s hi tech industry. Yesterday was the second time I had been to one. Rod Drury was an excellent straightforward speaker and it was very interesting to hear his take on the value of building up a company for a trade sale vs VC funding vs Angel Investors.

I particularly liked the enthusiam that Rod had for “sexy” 2.0 web technologies like Ajax and the use of Ruby on Rails.
