Ummm.... anyone say free ipods when machine accidently fall and glass accidently break??/

[Gambitt]

Or when a brick someone was accidentally carrying, accidentally flies out of their hand, accidentally breaks the glass, and the items all accidentally fall out? And then being a civic minded person they pick everything up for safe keeping, because you never know with some people.... of course nobody's going to steal a brick so that can stay...

I'm not sure I understand how the machine works... looks like you swipe a card, open the doors and take something and the machine will bill you for it?

This is as good a place as any to put this.... after reading whats quoted below... ask yourself the question is apple doing the right thing? or the french? cracking DRM... sounds like a good step for the consumer.... but at the same time the companies surely have some rights to protect their product no??? (once its not Sony Rotkit at least).

French tell Apple to open iTunes

Apple likely to say Non

THE FRENCH government is on the verge of trying to force the maker of entertainment gear, Apple to open its digital juke box to rival players.
The French government is pushing through a law that enables consumers to legally use software that converts digital content into any format.

This would force Apple to open its proprietary iTunes to business rivals or face the music.

Apple is expected to throw its toys out of the pram if the law is enacted and withdraw its iTunes from France. Maybe Apple hopes that this will lead to mass migration of Apple refugees out of the country and bring the French computer-based art, design and music industry to its knees.

According to Reuters, the law has some other interesting bits. It will no longer be illegal to crack digital rights management if it is to enable the conversion from one format to another.
