Apple goes DRM ( Digital Rights Management) free! (on music at least)

A major victory in the campaign to eliminate DRM -- Apple, the last
major retailer of DRM-encumbered music has announced, live at
MacWorld, that iTunes music will be going DRM-free.

Of course, what this really makes clear is that this was never about
the record companies withholding DRM-free music from Apple, but rather
that Apple was unwilling to concede a tiered pricing structure to the
recording companies. In the end, anti-DRM activists -- including
yourself -- were able to educate the public enough to pressure Apple
to give in.

Barrack Obama makes his first comic book appearance





FULL SIZE COMIC HERE

The Savage Dragon, created by Erik Larsen, is the first to star President elect, Barrack Obama.

Erik even went as far as endorsing Obama in a previous edition, which as you can imagine, pissed of comic geeks who think it wise to "keep politics separate from comics."

eh, whatever, still kind of interesting, I mean, it's not everyday that a comic book endorses anyone in politics.

Humanity, currently, is much a like a single average human in its perspective of itself; it trusts only what it sees, enjoys its own voice, lavishes itself in gluttonous abandon at its own expense, and is comforted by the warmth of another, regardless of the 'others' intent.

We seek to abandon loneliness, a byproduct of the concept I, and we find sanctuary in the mundane and superficial. Logic is abandoned for comfort, as we lie in the filth of our aversions to the truth.

We stand here now not as single confused mammals, but as one complex organism who has wired itself into one being. We are the squared renaissance, the culmination of history is at our fingertips with a vortex of information the most powerful human beings on earth had only dreamed about.

Can we win? We already have. The truth is novelty, the truth is power, and the truth is what we, humanity, have taken hold of.

The truth, is that there is no truth. Doesn't that take a load off?

Thank you for the invitation to contribute to this blog. my name is jester, and We are the ones who are called I Am.
