Greasemonkey

[Archived in Entry]

[ Mediacentric] It’s only for Firefox and Mac OS X users (hey — a demographic I fit in for a change!), but FoxiPod is a rather slick Greasemonkey script that automatically identifies links on websites to downloadable media that is playable in iTunes (mp3s, for example).

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[Dynatech] 3/26/05 SUPERCHARGED: It's a critical test case, as prosecutors say that anything less than a prison sentence would make future prosecutions unlikely." From the article: "The case was brought after a tip off from Antipiratbyrån (APB), a lobby organization set up by the media industry to combat illegal downloading in Sweden. Since the man was reported APB has found itself in hot water, with an Internet company accusing the organization itself of illegally downloading films and games. -Slashdot

Audible.com mini-rant (by Jeremy Zawodny): I joined audible on a trail membership for two weeks that gave me two free audiobooks. Once I got my audiobooks I decided to go ahead and cancel. I looked around a bit to make sure that I would still be able to listen to my downloads once I cancelled and once I felt comfortable that I would, I went to my account on audible and clicked on the prominent link on the middle right hand side of the page that says "Cancel My Account". Once I clicked on it they asked me a couple of questions and tried to give me a "special offer" of 12 books for 110 dollars (really, I'm quitting because of the money, do they really think offering me the chance to spend more is really going to get me to stay?).

Mediacentric: …This is obviously a slip to the next upgrade to Airport Express, which will obviously contain a remote control — as this message didn’t pop up in the previous version of iTunes. Since nothing solid exists right now as an official Apple product (really, would Apple add this message in just for one kinda functioning third party remote?) — we know what’s coming shortly. In checking our connections on the sale’s floor, Airport Expresses have been in limited availability the last few weeks — meaning an upgrade is probably around the corner.
