fun of the day – hack your honda/acura Nav.

so after my last post i wanted to read the Snicket books. went snooping around and found no downloadable copy. rats. but i found a cool page called Audible its basically a online audio bookstore, i chose to actually buy this because they offer a 14.99 a month subscription that comes with a mp3 player now i didnt need the mp3 player but oh well. however it was 12$ for shipping so that in hindsight would have been better spent elsewhere. you get one book and some daily news and magazines and such with that subscription. they have a nice looking selection and the new harrypotter book due out soon just as easy to get it for 14bucks as steal it. so…

now for the bad. if i didnt want to actually listen to this book i would unsuscribe right now and can this dumb web site. let me see what do i hate about them. is it the proprietary DRM software that not only takes up 100% cpu load most of the time? how about that when its full screen and doing some DRM crap that you CAN NOT minimize it. what about its horrible user interface. is that what i hate. yes but not the clincher. they are DRM meaning that they try and force you to only use the media the way they want. no mp3 no copy here and there. its just like itunes. well they can shove it. after i get the books i want i will cancel because i hate this. seriously its the most horrible product package i have ever dealt with. if i pay 14 a month just to be forced to use a special mp3 player then screw them. i cant express my hate towards the RIAA and DRM. oh yea i can. they suck and so is the Audible software and the HORRIBLE roxio cd burner plugin never use it. crashed my computer 3 times before i un installed it and went to cracking the audio encryption.

ok so what will any good hacker do about this mess, that i paid for? use google. i’m not alone in the DRM hatin’ world. thanks to dbpoweramp i am able to convert my media back into trusty mp3 that i can play on everything. if your playing along at home you want to search for a “direct show decoder” for dbpoweramp – that little free(12$) mp3 player i also got from them might also be hackable thus allowing me to get the mp3 with out the dbpoweramp thus faster DRM-D-Struction

if you happen to work for audible learn something from this post. if i couldn't hack your format then i would cancel your product. i have no intentions of sharing it on P2P and i have no intentions of having you limit my use to a audio file i download. have a nice day.

is this a legit complaint or am i just getting angry by the exponential?

ok so at first preview i thought this movie would be good. and it didnt let down $imdb(Lemony Snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events) was all that i hoped it would be. riveling if not kicking the pants of any old Tim Burton Film you have who else but Jim Carrey as the bad guy. I give this thumbs up all around i was glued to the screen watching it. This gets added to the collection for sure.

I was wondering how well it did since i didnt hear much about it in the theater, not sure why most people relate this movie to harry potter rip off. well since HP was published in 1998 and LS in 1999 its a long shot that anyone riped off anyone.

but that potter lady is no where as cool as Snickets seriously go check out his home page. this movie will get me to find the books on tape and download them and listen… sorry snickets i will buy your movie but not the books… alas what is the world coming to?

best movie i seen since big fish.

well i never bought into the ipod generation. i hate itunes. simple as that. but i just came across a discovery at ipodhacks. I currently have a nomad jukebox3 possibly the best ever handheld music device (has optical in and out and record and 4 channel output as well as 98db SNR there is nothing better …or when i bought it, and a upgradeable harddrive with replaceable batts)

i love this device so much due to its 12 hour battery and the hard disk and the optical recording. but its so invaluable since its off the shelf. i beat the crap out of it and have been thinking i need a new mp3 player so i don't break this one that has special features.

i thought i pod… but then thought again who wants that crappy software. but oh no. the company that i use for 3rd party loading of my nomad now has software for Ipod as Jon knows this software is the “must have” for creative mp3 owners. i bought it the day before i owned my jukebox it was so good. 30$ for a life time product. WHAT COULD BE BETTER. well a ipod that also runs form the same software.

uh-oh looks like countdown till kelly has a ipod like everyone in Manhattan.

ok so i netflixed $imdb(Sideways) from eli’s review now this is not a reflection on that review at all. basically i hated this movie. 2 hours long. there is so much lame character development that is never used. we follow this dumb writer with a book that is 700 pages long and its about nothing with no ending, the publisher don't want to publish the movie. well its a mirror of the movie. this must have been some guys real life story, because thats about all it is … real life. i’m sorry i dont watch a movie to see real life. i thought the whole plot line (spoiler) about the guy getting married and having his last fling with random chicks was not only pointless but made the whole move even more of a loop of boring life. they did a good job with continuity and keeping the story facts in line. but still this move was 2 hours of messy scripts.

to sum this movie up in a clever one liner.   “this movie is about as bland as a glass of dry merlot leaving you just as thirsty for something else”

boo

so we all heard of google maps. and the ability they have to make the world fly by your mouse. well they bought this technology from a company called keyhole. Now the cool thing about keyhole is they have a hi-res image of the world (and mars) and you can fly by your mouse from all the famous places of the world. you can then zoom in and look at the cars parked in your driveway. yes its that good. the download is free for 7 days long enough to play with it and bust out 20 bucks for a year if you like it. the server is very hammered all he time i think because its never very fast to load images …even at 2am. but go check out your house and the eiffel tower and the pyramids. its way cool. they also have this pan and tilt feature to really make it look like your flying over the landscape. this is worth your time and effort to down load i assure you. then go look at mars

example shot of work.

go look at vegas, the hollywood sign, any baseball field, what about JFK/NASA space center go look at the space shuttle on the ground – check out how they dont let you look at the whitehouse

only worth reporting because it was the WWU paper and we got quoted in it.
