Everybody stop! Because according to the RIAA (as reported by the EFF) ripping your own CD's is not fair use and never was (well at least in the USA).
PCWorld has done a nice roundup of the 25 worst tech products. "At PC World, we spend most of our time talking about products that make your life easier or your work more productive. But it's the lousy ones that linger in our memory long after their shrinkwrap has shriveled, and that make tech editors cry out, "What have I done to deserve this?""
Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu has been interviewed expressing his concerns over patent infringement and his hopes for 2007 among other things.

We should have known better, given the difference in L2 cache performance we noticed between 130nm and 90nm Athlon 64 processors during AMD's last die shrink."
This article looks at the third party router firmware OpenWRT. "When I tell people that I have a Linux machine acting as the router in my household, I get some strange looks and get told that they'd sooner have a “real router”. What they don't realise is that except for some incredibly expensive hardware firewalls, most routers run Linux anyway – just hidden behind the cloud of a fancy web interface."
