You might be surprised, but by actively circumventing copy protection AND publishing how to do it, you are breaking the great piece of US law - the DMCA. Sound silly for such a simple idea, but what you are doing is illegal. And if the government pass the proposed chnanges, what you are suggesting could land you in jail for a maximum of 10 years.
Here in the UK, it was only made legal to rip CD's to your PC THIS WEEK. Fair use doesn't seem to exist in real life.
Blu-ray movies are cheaper than HD DVD {Engadget HD}

This is just a pointless story ....
I can walk into a store today and buy HD-DVD's - it'll be over a month before I can say the same for Blu-ray. How can something thats not available be cheaper?
Anyway, even at a few bucks less per disc, it will take you a long while to re-coup the difference in the cost of your early adopter player.

Apr 14th 2006 1:13PM When I was around 12, I wrote to Microsoft UK saying I wanted to learn more about there products and how they work expecting no more than some typical sales literature or manual. However, I got a lovely response that included thier latest certification training CD and the offer to allow me to sit an exam for free! Through numerous jobs, thats still my number one tale of customer service :)

Mmmm ... its nice to see a corporate body actually go ahead and take a stance on wasting energy. Shame they didn't target more simple things like remembering to turn lights off, using energy efficient bulbs, not always boiling a full kettle and maybe persuading some of the other corporates to turn there PC's off at night. I used to work in a call center for HSBC that operated 16 hours a day - but all 2000 PC's remained on 24 hours a day!
Lets start with the simple behavioural savers, rather than redesigning every electronic device out there.

Turn an Intel Mac Mini into a Windows Media Center - Offically {Engadget HD}
Apr 6th 2006 3:12PM MCE on a Mac Mini is possible ... check out http://www.furrygoat.com/ for more details.
"I used a single Media Center 2005 DVD to install from, rather than 2 CD's. Basically, I copied the bits from both CD's to a folder and used Nero to make a bootable DVD."
