The RIAA Radar is a tool that music consumers can use to easily and instantly distinguish whether an album was released by a member of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Just as people can currently find out where some products come from and who made them (Is this banana organic? Does this milk contain growth hormones? Were these clothes made in a sweatshop?), it is important to have that knowledge for as many consumer goods as possible. Knowledge is power, and knowing where the product came from can (and should) influence what you buy.

A problem with the rapid increase in our ability to store data,is not only that we might have trouble finding things but that it could be difficult just deciding what to look for.

Or at least that's the thinking behind a recommendation engine developed by Bath-based physicist Martin Hopkins.

Move over, woodwind and strings -- in the future, the ultimate musical instrument could be the human brain.
Artist Luciana Haill uses medical electroencephalogram, or EEG, monitors embedded in a Bluetooth-enabled sweatband to record the activity of her frontal lobes, then beams the data to a computer that plays it back as song.

By Steve Jobs. With the stunning global success of Apple's iPod music player and iTunes online music store, some have called for Apple to "open" the digital rights management (DRM) system that Apple uses to protect its music against theft, so that music purchased from iTunes can be played on digital devices purchased from other companies, and protected music purchased from other online music stores can play on iPods. Let's examine the current situation and how we got here, then look at three possible alternatives for the future. To begin, it is useful to remember that all iPods play music that is free of any DRM and encoded in "open" licensable formats such as MP3 and AAC.

"Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire..." Many file-sharers may see today's staggering news as reminiscent of the opening scroll of Star Wars, as a small force has emerged victorious against the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). For the first time ever, the RIAA has been ordered to pay attorney fees in the "Capitol Records, Inc. vs. Debbie Foster and Amanda Foster" case.
