ABC News Pathetically Tries to Smokescreen High Altitude Total Surveillance Blimps as UFOs for Northcom

Although its not exactly shocking to hear of yet another homeland security application that seems to border on Big Brother, Lockheed Martins High Altitude Airship could keep an elevated eye on 600 miles of US countryside at any given time, and if all goes as planned, well have 11 of these things floating over our everyday activities by the end of the decade. The HAA prototype is a ginormous airship that measures 17-times larger than the Goodyear rendition were all used to seeing above sporting events, and is designed to hover 12 miles above the earth in order to keep tabs on whats happening below. The airship is slated to be solar-powered and should stay in a geocentric orbit for “up to a year,” and if equipped with high-resolution cameras, a single one could cover everything “between Toledo, Ohio and New York City.” While Lockheed Martin is thrilled with the $40 million project theyve been awarded, its certainly understandable to get a little worried about how these blimps will actually be used, but a company spokesperson suggested then an entire fleet could actually be used for “border surveillance” — and hey, we need a little help down there anyway, right?

Victory for Net Neutrality: Apple Drops Anticopying Measures in iTunes

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/07/technology/companies/07apple.html?_r=1&hp
SAN FRANCISCO — In moves that will help shape the online future of the music business, Apple said on Tuesday that it would remove anticopying restrictions on all of the songs in its popular iTunes store and allow record companies to set a range of prices for them. Beginning this week, three of the four major music labels — Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group — will begin selling music through iTunes without digital rights management software, or D.R.M., which controls the copying and use of digital files. The fourth, EMI, is already doing so. In return, Apple, whose dominance in online music sales gives it powerful leverage, agreed to a longstanding demand of the music labels and said it would move away from its insistence on pricing all individual song downloads on iTunes at 99 cents. Instead, the majority of songs in the store will drop to 69 cents beginning in April, while the biggest hits and newest songs will go for $1.29. Others that are moderately popular will remain at 99 cents.
