Art Mobs – to Remix MoMA (With Your Help)

Art Mobs

This is a really cool idea…Not to be taken too seriously.

Here’s a quote from their weblog:

Art Mobs to Remix MoMA (With Your Help)
Art Mobs returns with a new project. Last year we hosted a gallery event at Marymount Manhattan College. Now we’re focusing our attention on the Museum of Modern Art. We’ve produced (unofficial) audio guides for MoMA, and we’re making them available as podcasts. We’d love for you to join in by sending us your own MoMA audio guides, which we’ll gladly add to our podcast feed. Why should audio guides be proprietary? Help us hack the gallery experience, help us remix MoMA!

BBC NEWS | Technology | The rootkit of all evil?

Sony really messed up when they introduced the XCP copy protection, without telling anybody about it. The XCP scheme messes with the registry and has other nasty tricks up it’s sleeves.

Oh well, as a Mac user there’s no problem, as with other copy-protection schemes, the XCP scheme only affects Wintel PCs. Anyway, on most Wintel PCs the copy protection schemes, I’ve seen, like on the Missy Elliott album THIS IS NOT A TEST!, has been quite simple to bypass: simply browse the CD using Explorer, then you can RIP it, it will fail if you just try to RIP it. I discovered this by chance.

The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I did of course need a link to tuaw. Lots of interesting and quite well researched articles, that goes beyond the web “white-noise” hype that surrounds Apple.
