Kevin Rose’s Laptop Getting Engraved [via]. I don’t care much about Digg (except for Kevin Rose being cute) and I don’t care much for desecrating a black MacBook that way; I’m just impressed that laser engraving is so simple and fast.

Using the latest Mercury Messenger yesterday (which is orders of magnitude better than the previous version) I found out that Windows Live Messenger now supports offline messages. Finally.
Oh, and if you’re using Adium or another compatible IM clone, chances are you won’t receive messages sent while you were offline, and nobody will be notified. I wonder if that’s also the case if you’re using an older version of MSN Messenger — I wouldn’t put it past Microsoft.

Does anyone actually care that a program has been released to strip DRM from (legally acquired) PlaysForSure Windows Media files? If so, just Google for it, because I don’t think I could link it without going to jail. Yay for DRM protection laws.
Actually, while I don’t think anyone does, or should, buy Windows Media music, it seems like it could actually be of some interest to Napster subscribers (particularly those American college students who get free Napster subscriptions and still prefer to BitTorrent their music) since it allows you to download all the music you want for a flat fee, and keep a copy. Which would be baaad, needless to say.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
