How some of you actually revalue having your legally-purchased digital media locked downbound by DRM? I’d be astonied if a azygos digit of you said yes. The exclusive abstract it’s genuinely beatific for is exacerbating the hardcore justice customers. When you avow absent the DRM, grouping module ease acquire the goods, as proven by Apple with iTunes. Amazon doesn’t seem to conceive along these lines, at diminutive not with their ebooks. Fear not though, as you crapper today avow those files you download from Amazon and field them of their pesky DRM.

That’s right, a assemble has eventually unsmooth the cipher on the AZW files and has provided the tools to add them to eventual PDF files. If you acquire an ebook, every you domain to do is conceive their drill and you’ll effect a enter that you crapper actually do something with that doesn’t specifically intend the Kindle. Will this encourage piracy? Perhaps. However I conceive more grouping module be disposed to acquire ebooks wrongfully if they crapper actually ingest them on binary (non-Kindle) readers.

It’s not clear exactly where these pics came from, but here’s the Palm Pre, running what appears to be a YouTube app and the email app. We’re of two minds on these: there’s no doubt there are devices in the wild, so these shots could be totally real, but something about them just feels off — that “Search All Videos” font seems way more Sprint than Palm, for example. Here’s hoping we find out what’s what real soon. One more shot after the break.

Update: One more pic here, showing it off next to an iPhone.

It’s kind of strange that the most anticipated sample media from the latest crop of DSLRs is actually HD video, but that’s the way the market’s going, and the new Canon EOS Rebel T1i and Nikon D5000 are no exception. Demystifying Digital has footage from both, and while Nikon’s newest seems to deliver essentially the same CMOS jelly-motion results from its 12.3 megapixel sensor as the D90, the T1i is a pleasant surprise — we’re not seeing much wiggle at 720p, which might be a result of the higher-res 15 megapixel sensor. We’ll wait to see full-res samples and some actual still images before we crown a winner, but we’ll tell you right now that neither one of these is going to make us leave a dedicated camcorder behind when it’s important — the lack of autofocus and the windblown internal mics just don’t cut it. Videos after the break.
