CES is over and with it the promise of a new tomorrow is gone...for now. In the wake of the largest Consumer Electronics Show in the World let's look at some new news from the Tech world:
Don't Share your shiny, new drm-free iTunes tracks...They might be the pieces of data that do you in. Not with the RIAA mind you since they have stopped suing file sharers (finally!) but with random heads that just probably should not have your personal info.
Remember the CueCat? I actually had one of these things, and really only liked it because of the handy dandy LED that shone out of it. Well it seems Microsoft is kickin it old school (albeit in a much wider spectrum of hardware devices).
Good news for those that peruse the "gray" market of video. DivX has added .mkv support to its latest codec. Will there be good playback of .mkv's using WMP (audio usually sux, even using the CCP codec pack)? Maybe, it would surely be nicer to use than VLC or even Miro which opens slower than acrobat trying to handle a 5mb PDF file...
And lastly, on a personal note I would like to say a big "F U!" to Ron. The other day we had a debate about the usefulness of Bat Wings and whether human sized bat wings of bird wings would be of more use. Well it seems the US Military has taken my side (Bat wings are better) and plan to integrate the basic mechanics of bat flight into UAV's in the future.
