Running with your ears on

I have lost count over the years of the number of people I have told to not listen to music while running. Well, Runners’ World has recently published an article titled Listen while you run. To all those who have suffered through listening to my opinion, I’m still sticking to my guns. However, you can [...]

Arstechnia had a Nate Anderson story today about another theoretical rootkit in a piece of commercial software. While that’s not good news, there were an additional two paragraphs at the end of the story about the provisionally approved settlement of Sony/BMG’s class action lawsuit from their XCP rootkit fiasco.
