POGO online games

Can you believe it? I actually found out about this one from my 90-year-old grandmother! She goes to POGO.com all the time and plays their Poppit! game. It seems similar to Bejeweled. Poppit! uses java so you need to have the Sun Java software on your computer.

The site has lots of games such as puzzle games, word games, card games, and more. I know there are lots of game sites out there, but if the site is good enough for my Nanny, then it’s good enough for you. :-)

‘DRM-free’ iTunes songs raise concerns

From CNN:

Apple Inc.’s recent rollout of songs without copy protection software at its iTunes Store has given consumers new flexibility, but questions have emerged over the company’s inclusion of personal data in purchased music tracks.

Are the songs that are being billed as free of so-called digital rights management technology really “DRM-free” or are there still strings attached?

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a consumer watchdog group, said the embedded user information in the purchased track raises privacy issues.
