damn damn.. damn MS.. I am late for the concert thanks to them. <update> I managed to get to the rockarama concert. Kryptos sucked real bad. Motherjane and Molotov Cocktail were really good.

APC hoax ?
achitnis pointed this out last night After the recent article on slashdot about APC recalling 2.1 million UPS units ,there was a page put up to find out if your UPS was defective.

Disney says it owns the copyright.. after today I say I 0wn Disney
Very disappointed to hear about Disney winning the Eldred case. Till date I’ve actually had little sympathy for music industry and their copyrights.. I’ve actually went out and purchased tapes of music that I already had on my machine. Now I’ve totally lost it.
