Norwegian hacker cracks iTunes code
OSLO, Norway (AP) -- A young Norwegian who became a global hacker hero by writing and distributing a program to crack DVD security codes appears to have struck again, this time against Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes online music service. Jon Lech Johansen, 19, faces a new trial that starts Tuesday after prosecutors appealed his January acquittal on charges that he violated Norway's data break-in laws with his DeCSS program for DVDs.

iPods dirty secret!

But really watch this vedio before you waste your money!
THIS ONE'S NO DOG
Time Magazine- The Aibo, Sony's toy robot dog, was a huge commercial hit. But it's a quadruped so, by today's standards, no great shakes. Meet Qrio (rhymes with curio), the company's new bipedal "personal agent." More of a corporate showpiece than an actual product (on the market it would fetch about as much as a BMW), Qrio can walk uphill, sing, dance, wave hello, wiggle its fingers and kick a ball with surprising grace. Two digital cameras, one behind each eye, help Qrio map a room for future reference and recognize up to 10 different faces. It can also converse in Japanese. Can you?
Now this is a challenge between they're robot and the Honda Asimo.
Is school always boring?
Its weird how I learn all these stupid stuff in school that I dont think I am going to use any of those things when I grow up. Some things are important such as math which I really try to get all A's and I mostly get A's or B's but you know in science we learn stupid stuff like how light reflects...!! everybody knows that! but we have to like draw all these things and estimate which direction and all that... I really hate Science this year, and I know exactly why! Because its a lot more boring then all my other grades.

The world's lightest and smallest robot helicopter has been unveiled at a Tokyo exhibition by the Seiko Epson company.
The designers say the 70-mm-tall device could be used as a "flying camera" to enter earthquake-shattered buildings. The prototype four-legged robot weighs 10 grammes and although it flies by remote control, it has to be linked to an external power source via a cable.

Smallest Camera?!
Gun-shaped camera could be the smallest video camera on Earth.
TechTv- When we say first look, we mean it. "Tech Live" is the only media outlet in the country so far to play with Fisher's just-announced Pocket CameraCorder FVD-C1. We'll show you first-hand its promising features on tonight's show. This new digital camcorder fits in the palm of your hand. Shooting with it feels like you're holding the barrel of a gun. If you're into firearms, the FVD-C1 might just be for you. Of course, you won't be shooting bullets but precious memories. Oh, one more thing. This camcorder doesn't use tape.

Radar Data Shows Moon Is Dry At Poles
In a potentially serious blow to future lunar colonization efforts, new radar measurements of the poles of Earth's moon show no signs of water there in the permanent shade and shadow of deep craters. Such radar measurements by the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico had previously discovered polar ice deposits on distant Mercury, but similar signals from our Moon are absent.

Apple Helps Napster

Microsoft's Antitrust Settlement Sharply Questioned
Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly said the settlement was so wrong-headed that its approval by U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly represented an abuse of her discretion.
Led by the Attorney General of Massachusetts, Microsoft's antitrust adversaries had another day in court to protest the provisions of the settlement the company worked out with the Bush administration. The antitrust battle was joined Tuesday in oral arguments before the six-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia.

I can't wait till I go to Manchester!

Casio's New toy
First Look: Casio Xfer Splash Proof TV
TechTv- Bathtubs and TVs make a deadly mix. But to some people "deadly" also means "totally cool." I'm sure Casio meant the latter when it released a splashproof wireless television. Casio's Xfer Splash Proof Wi-Fi TV, one of the latest Japanese gizmos to invade the bathroom, lets you watch the tube in your tub in relative safety. Tonight on "Fresh Gear," see Becky Worley disrobe to test it out.
