The BBC has a story that Radiohead fans will be able to choose how much to pay for the band's next album, In Rainbows, which is available for download on 10 October.
Instead of listing a price for the music, the group's website simply states "it's up to you" — and then adds: "No really, it's up to you."
This will be Radiohead's seventh album, but they are not using a record label, having fulfilled their contract with EMI following their 2003 album Hail to the Thief.

Getting detained at the airport is never fun, even less so when it's due to medical treatment.
This is only expected to get more common and with the new dictator-type regimes in power will not be avoided by authorised travel documents.

What do you do if you have one of the first few thousand PlayStation 3s in the US? Take it apart
Kristopher Kubicki & Marcus Yam have done just this over as Daily Tech.
From the article: A little more than a year ago I was one of the lucky few outside of Microsoft to see the inner workings of an Xbox 360. This weekend I had the chance to once again delve into the inner workings of a truly next-generation console.
Daily Tech
and yes it will run Linux!

We all know it's illegal to copy a DVD we hire from the video shop.
What about if the movie has been on TV. I can record (video or DVD) the movie as it's broadcast but can I also see a movie listed on TV and hire the DVD, copy and keep it?
Today with digital TV there is not much to choose between DVD and TV. Certainly a HDTV to DVD recording is going to be better than VHS ever was.
Is the movie copy protected or is it the media (DVD disc)?
