Month February 2006

Our new toothbrushes came with 3, count ‘em, 3, free “music downloads.”  With lots of DRM.  And the site only works in IE.  And even then, I’m supposed to download a Sony DRM music player of some sort to play the songs.  Riiiiight.  Funny how tainted a brand can get from one little use of black-hat hacking methods to keep kids from putting music somewhere where they might actually listen to it.  Did I mention the Flash lander page?  I bought a toothbrush, I know, you don’t have to beat me over the head with a spinning, frothy toothpaste-laden brush.
