Owners of the iPhone will be able to legally break electronic locks on their devices in order to download software applications that haven’t been approved by Apple Inc., according to new government rules announced Monday.

Ruling Allows ‘Jailbreaking’ of iPhones - NYTimes.com

This is, dare I say, inspiring. The Library of Congress, bless their little hearts, are actually recognizing that there are reasonable limits that should be placed on copyright. The new rules will let people legally jailbreak their phones (no word on whether that includes voided warranties, though), bypass copyright restrictions on DVDs for education purposes and bypass the need for hardware dongles.

Seriously.

Now, think about this for just a second. Imagine you’re having a conversation with Don Draper and you use a phrase like “thought leader” or “webinar”. How’s that end?

If you’re in a meeting, he takes a long draw off his cigarette, slowly stamps it out, stands up, buttons his jacket, stares right through you and walks out of the room without saying a word.

If you’re in a bar, he finishes his drink, stands up, punches you in your dumb mouth, buttons his jacket, dons his hat, walks out and then fucks your wife.

Safari lets sites collect your personal information

Using a bug in the AutoFill feature of Safari 4 and 5 (OS X only, not iOS devices), malicious javascript can grab your name, email, address and phone number. The fix is to turn off AutoFill. While you’re at it, turn off the “open safe files after downloading” option.

Consumer Reports is raising serious doubts about precious metals dealer and Glenn Beck fave Goldline

If you’ve spent any time listening to right wing radio or watching FOX News, you’re familiar with Goldline. These guys are straight up hucksters, selling “security” to the conspiratorially inclined despite the fact that real economists say that precious metals are a pretty poor investment for normal people. Of course, conservatives have done a fantastic job convincing people to vote against their own economic interests for decades, this seems like a natural collusion.

Goldline isn’t just some advertiser, though, Beck has been particularly vocal in his support of their scams. In this schmaltzy, over the top bit he personally vouches for their integrity.

Mother Jones wrote about Beck’s love affair with Goldline and the intertwining of right wing paranoia and the thirst for gold a few months ago.

Remember this HILARIOUS jab from Jim DeMint back in January? He and a bunch of other conservatives were beside themselves over who could crow loudest about the freak snowstorm that was blanketing DC while Congress was trying to pass climate change legislation. Funny thing, while the Republican party was busy ignoring science, it turns out the first six months of 2010 are the warmest on record ever. I’m sure Senator DeMint will be putting his stand up routine on hold any minute now to offer an apology to Mr. Gore.

Over the past 3 years, the RIAA has spent $64 MILLION on lawsuits and copyright investigations

The return on that investment? A little more than a million bucks. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of guys.
