"Just because I do not make it available to anyone does not mean I'm free to duplicate copyrighted materials."

That's debatable, in my opinion. If you don't make it available to anyone, what's the problem? To make a copy for personal use, you'd need a copy to personally use (read: to copy) in the first place. If you aqcuired that copy legally, surely there is no problem with that?

Congratulations to Microsoft for the first good-looking Zune.

I have seperate encrypted disk images for certain types of data: one for all my serials and registration codes, one for my banking information, one for my private email/chat logs, ...

Oh I know, why don't you start writing a tech blog yourself? Surely, it must be easy. Don't forget to make it free and to appeal to every single on of your readers. Every single one. Don't even think about displeasing one of them, or I won't come and read your blog!

User friendliness, not feature count. Welcome to the craaaaazy world of non-geeks.

I find it hard to believe this was posted in 2007. P2P such as BitTorrent has already proven itself, mainly as a way to distribute files with less than average legality, so to speak.

There's one thing that's bothering me: didn't Apple sue Creative back? What happened to that?

Of course, you could just burn your music to a cheap CD and rip it straight back onto your computer, all shiny and DRM-less. Hell, you'll have made a backup along the way.
