Episode 5 delayed...

2 Term Papers in progress since episode 4, SUCKS! If Becky and I were pro's we wouldn't be bothered by such trivial matters as homework. Maybe by Mortal Kombat, but not homework or term papers. Anyway, enough excuses, there should be one tomorrow for all of you loyal subscribers.

The Rants From Nick Show #4

Episode 4 is now available for download. Becky joins me again for some rants about fast food, corporate America and Sony. Also, I "wrote" a new song for the outro, hope you enjoy it JB. Please subscribe!









P.S. I finally fixed my feed, so please resubscribe if you are already a loyal subscriber. All of the episodes are now available.

Guess I wasn't the only one...

Checking back to MDN, and they have now posted a link to a petition because the Sony/BMG root kit apparently affects Macs as well. Not to be fanatical, but it just doesn't seem like Sony was being very responsible here.

Boycott Sony

Boycott Sony/BMG

In case you haven't heard, please make a statement, and do NOT buy any audio CDs from Sony/BMG. It has been found that their methods of copy protection include installing a "root kit" application that hides itself and reports to Sony when you listen, and also compromises your security as well as reduces your system stability. Fortunately for myself as a Mac user, this problem only affects people running windows (sorry guys). At this point you can get information about this just about anywhere on the net, here are some links I thought interesting:

"Stinkz"

Sony DRM installs a Rootkit

Removing Sony's CD 'rootkit' kills Windows

You decide, but I am certainly not going to purchase anything else from this company...maybe not even the PS3. Seriously, at least their PS3 will be a closed system that I wouldn't be using for my personal files and information, but gimme a break Sony.

The Rants from Nick Show #3

The Rants from Nick Show is now available for download. Becky joins me for the first live dialogue. We rant about the Korner Kitchen, RFID and homework. Please subscribe!

Go Wings!

Yeah...my dad very much enjoys the Red Wings. Another note, he was supposed to be in China by now. Turns out his passport was on its way and arrived in Chicago, but never made it. Did you steal it? Just kidding.
