  • Can an airport search your iPod?

    I just read this interesting short article over at Geek Sugar about airport security being able to possibly search your electronic devices for illegally downloaded media.  You can read the entire article at a site called Telegraph.

    Basically, an act may be ratified later this month allowing airport security to search your ipod, zune, laptop, and even your cell phone! That seems like a lot of music to go through, and seeing that pretty much half of the music on most teens ipods IS illegal… Well, that sounds like a lot of lawsuits!

    I think the idea is very wrong.  There are hundreds of sites on the internet allowing you to download LEGAL music as an MP3, and some of those are DRM free.  Amazon, Itunes, Last.fm, and many other sites have cheap MP3’s that you can buy for less than $1.  Also, copying music onto your computer from CD’s that you have bought legally are turned into MP3’s.  So how does security know that your music is illegal?  When they look at your iPod, how to they know a song is illegal or legal?

    What do you think?

  • I Likes Firefox 3

    Firefox 3 finally came out of Beta and into everyone’s home computers a few days ago.  Mozilla wanted to make a Guiness World Record of over a million downloads of their program. I was one of the many who helped Mozilla make that goal by downloading on Firefox Download Day!

    What I like:  Firefox 3 is pretty. The toolbars are pretty much the same, with minor changes. If you start to type in a link that is close to one of your bookmarks, firefox will pull up that bookmark and you can easily jump to that page without having to type in the entire link address.

    Also, there is a simple bookmark star inside the address bar so you can click and save in as few as one click!

    I havent seen many other differences between FF2 and FF3, so it’s still just as easy to use. :)  And if you downloaded on download day, you get this cute little certificate of thanks!  Teehee!  Check out mine!
