MacBook locks iTunes movies on non-HDCP screens

Certain movies bought through the iTunes Store appear to be taking advantage of the inherent copy protection hardware in the new MacBook lineup, a report from one Ars Technica reader. Attaching an external display without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) encryption support, such as a projector with VGA-only input, produces a warning from some titles that the display isn't authorized to play protected movies and so refuses output.

Painting it Black: Exhibition Shows the Dark Side of Fashion

There are certain styles that never die and goth is one of them. It seems that the high school rebel with blood-drained skin and midnight locks continues to haunt artists thirsty for creativity. Ever since the goth subculture emerged in the UK during the 1980’s, its clothing, inspired by death, mourning, and the macabre, keeps coming back to life. Over the years, gothic couture has had several transformations that range from weeping veils to glossy vinyl pants, and is still resurrected on the runways by some of fashion’s most acclaimed designers. Today, ghoulish garbs are displayed at Gothic: Dark Glamour, the first exhibition of its kind at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City.

Short Term Profits Over Long Term Principles; Google's Caving On Book Scanning Is Bad News

Today the tech/business press was filled with stories about how Google has settled the lawsuits from authors and publishers over its book scanning project. Google is paying $125 million, and will be changing some of how its book search system works. Authors and publishers will allow books to go online, but it locks Google in to a specific business model that might not be the most reasonable and, most importantly, it does not answer the legal question concerning the overall legality of book scanning. Pretty much any way you look at it, Google caved here -- and this is unfortunate for a variety of reasons.

Electronic Arts Hit With More Anti-DRM Lawsuits (ERTS)

spore1.jpgWe all know how much gaming geeks hate the DRM measures built into Electronic Arts' (ERTS) "Spore." But credit them this: at least a few of them are doing more about it than complaining on the Internet and launching ineffectual campaigns on Amazon (AMZN). Two new class-action lawsuits have been filed against EA over the copy protection locks, with another one already in the works.

Lips Hands-On Preview

The moment I laid eyes on the Lips microphones, I was intrigued. You can tell they're plastic, but they don't feel cheap -- they've got a bit of heft to 'em. They're wireless, and they've also got accelerometers, which allow you to perform gestures midsong for more points. But it's the sleek design that really caught my attention: The mic head locks in place to hide the battery pack, and bottom of the handle's beautifully dotted with pulsating blue, purple, and white lights. I was hooked. And, desperately, I needed to know: Is Lips worth the LEDs its peripherals are lit by?

XPath-Based Concurrency Control for XML Data

For concurrency control of XML data, this paper proposes a new locking method based on XPath with a new data management model. Although increasing concurrency for XML data becomes an important issue in XML data management, few effective methods providing high concurrency of transactions working on the same XML document have been proposed so far. To overcome this problem, the paper proposes a locking method that can achieve high concurrency while guaranteeing the serializability of transactions to the same XML document. In the proposed method, logical locks are set on XPath expressions used in transaction accesses, and conflicts that violate serializability are detected each time a read or a write access is requested by concurrent transactions.
