Rick Falkvinge responds to the European Commission about the inadvisability of mixing DRM and law (in English, despite the preamble in Swedish, even though he is the “founder and leader of the Pirate Party movement and leader of the Swedish Pirate Party”).

I played Apple’s new iPhone “Hello” ad for Christen. She didn’t didn’t remember seeing it, after I’d mentioned that Apple had an ad during the Oscars. After watching it, she thinks she missed it in the Oscar telecast because it “looked just like all the other montages.” (She was fast-forwarding through the commercials with Tivo, of course.)

I didn’t see the Oscars, but I’d hazard a guess that the commercial was not very effective in its original run for those who were not watching the Oscars live.

I was amused the other day when I thought I saw Avril Lavigne on the soundtrack to “Erage” at the top of the charts in the iTunes Store. So, of course, I needed to blog about it with a misleading headline and a screenshot.

“Erage” is, of course, handy shorthand for Microsoft Entourage. (In fact, it’s so embedded in my thinking that it’s the shorthand substitution I use for “Entourage” in Spell Catcher X and what I type to launch the application from LaunchBar.) I swear I remember seeing members of the Entourage team wearing jackets bearing the “Erage” name, too. Edit: It is not, however, related to the television show Entourage. Which is where I’m betting a lot of my hits on this page come from.

Anyway, it turns out that it was a song on the soundtrack to “Eragon”—an actual movie with a soundtrack, of course—but it still amused me to take a screenshot. (When you have screencapture + Python + Core Image, why not take frivolous screenshots?)

Update: After several months and several attempts that each seemed to work in their own way, I finally got the inline image to appear. I’m not exactly a fan of Drupal’s image handling at this point — coming from my Manila background — but perhaps I have sorted it out.
