I would go to this theme park EVERY DAY! I think it’d be a titillating experience.

Ubuntu 7.04: Feisty Fawn has been released. A review of it is up at Lunapark6.

I’ve made no secret of my love for Ubuntu; evangelizing it to anyone that will listen, and this release looks like it’ll give me more reason to do so.

OK, now I’m intrigued. I hope they can price them affordable, but I think we all know by now that the smaller they make computing devices the more expensive they get.

While I can agree, at least on the surface, with the idea that the RIAA and MPAA could make good use of pretexting, I have to call into question their real motives. I mean, this is a company (at least, in the RIAA’s case) that has sued children, the elderly, people who don’t even own computers and even dead people of copyright infringement by sharing songs over the internet.

Of course, I think the question that should trump all of the MPAA and RIAA’s concerns about pretexting is: “Aren’t the police or FBI supposed to do the investigating?”

Based on their history so far, I say it’s like allowing a minor alcohol: They just don’t know how to handle the responsibility when it comes to the law.

Now that’s crafty! Excuse me while I raid my supply closet.

The 21 Biggest Technology Flops. Some familiar names; like the Apple Newton, the Apple Lisa, the poorly conceived (and stillbirthed) DiVX player and Microsoft Bob grace the argticle.

Sadly, SCO isn’t on the list, though I thought they’d be a shoe-in.

EMI goes DRM-free on iTunes Store. For $1.29/song, claiming it’s because of the higher quality of the songs (now 256kbps instead of 128) and not the fact that they are lacking DRM.

In other news, it’s reported that Satan was seen at the local Wal-Mart buying a pair of ice skates.

UDATE: Link round-up:

• Engadget has the presentation online. Looks like DRM-free albums will be the same price as DRMed albums. Sweet!
• Boing Boing is all a-twitter. Massive list of related links, too.
• Gizmodo
• CNN, even!
• Wikipedia has already been updated!
• Fox News notes that Beatles tracks are not coming along for the ride.
• Slashdot hashes things nicely.
• Interestingly enough, EFF.org is void of mentioning it. This seems right up their alley.
• Gotta have C|Net
• Wow, ZDnet’s still around?
• Netscape has a pathetically short blurb on their site.
• MSNBC has something.

The guys over at Think geek have just released The ThinkGeek WiiHelm.

Visuals and even a demo video are available on the products site. Just give the link above a clicky clicky.

Bonus points to anyone who can tell me where I pulled the post title from.
