It seems folks are just incessant in the quest to create new kinds of microphones, with a California-based inventor patenting the latest attempt in the form of the sure-to-be-Mini-Me-approved laser microphone. While most venues have those run-of-the-mill mics — which typically enlarge diaphragm size to increase sensitivity — David Schwartz thinks he has a better idea for picking up even the slightest peeps without introducing distortion. His device will reportedly stream damp air containing microscopic water particles through a tube, while a laser diode beams light through the vessel onto a sensor located on the opposite side. When sound waves enter the tube, the vibration of the droplets will cause the sensor to detect changes optically as the beam is disturbed, supposedly resulting in near-perfect vocal reproduction. While confident that the setup wouldn’t induce wild fits of feedback, Schwartz’s invention would presumably cost a pretty penny, and would likely only make a difference to those professional karaoke singers out there anyway.

, Interviews, Portable Audio, Portable Video
Instead of our usual run of interviews with industry luminaries and the like, today we’re aiming the camera a different direction. We had a few things to ask the person whom we’ve identified as Viodentia, the creator of FairUse4WM — the thorn in Microsoft’s (and Yahoo’s, and Napster’s, and Real’s, etc.) digital media business for a month now. Seems at once likely and not that the big DRM scheme developed by the largest software company was broken and broken again by a single person, but here we are — and here’s what Viodentia had to say about the digital music business, where Microsoft went wrong with PlaysForSure, and what s/he thinks about this latest memo and patch.
Thanks for granting this interview. So FairUse4WM caused quite a stir. How long did it take you to crack Microsoft’s PlaysForSure DRM? Was anyone else involved?
Finding a way to extract key information took about a couple of weeks of spare time. Going from a prototype to a more general tool took a couple of months. I am the only developer, although my friends served as early beta testers and sounding boards, and with the initial release I’ve gotten to know some very helpful people.
So apart from any ideological or political distaste you may have for DRM, do you have any personal reasons for wanting to crack Windows Media DRM? Like, are you a Rhapsody or Napster subscriber?
No, due to geographic location, I’m unable to subscribe to those services. Only my selfish rationale is the challenge in pitting my skills against the industry leader.
Without revealing the secret sauce, what were the fundamental flaws with PlaysForSure that allowed you to break it? Did Microsoft know about these flaws?
Once code is released, there’s really nothing secret anymore — Microsoft didn’t follow standard security practices, and left sensitive data unencrypted on the stack while calling routines out of kernel32.dll. Even when they fix this by changing malloc() to alloca(), it’ll still be a big task to audit other sensitive routines for DLL calls. On a theoretical level, they have to send the decryption keys outside of their control, and their only defense is through obfuscation.
Microsoft apparently has teams working around the clock to fix the vulnerability — and on the legal front they’ve started getting their lawyers involved, sending C&Ds to places hosting the software. What do you think of their responses to FairUse4WM?
I think they’re fulfilling their contractual obligations, and I’m looking forward to their improved obfuscation technology. I certainly disapprove of Microsoft claiming copyright to my program, but realistically I can’t do much about that. Nor can I advocate that folks mirror my program against their local laws.
Presently Microsoft has yet to been able to fix this vulnerability — is it possible for them to repair PlaysForSure without totally starting over?
As soon as I release something, Microsoft can certainly patch around it. I can do the same. I don’t believe that either of us has a nuclear option.
What do you think of Microsoft’s latest memo, which claims to patch version 1.2?
I’ll reserve full commentary until I’ve had a chance to examine the new IBX in more detail. I’ll release a new version sometime this week.
How do you think FairUse4WM affects the industry? Do you worry that cracking PlaysForSure is going to lead to the end of subscription-based services?
I think FairUse4WM is a good thing for the industry — it demonstrates that the entire world doesn’t turn upside down when there’s no effective protection on content. I doubt subscription based services are impacted — programs exploiting the analog hole were already widely spamvertised. The value of a subscription is the continuing access to new titles, which isn’t dependent on the protection. I wonder if any subscription company will publicly admit that FairUse4WM was good for them.
Microsoft supposedly has a new DRM scheme they’ve cooked up for their forthcoming Zune media player. What do you think about their jettisoning PFS for their own device, and this new DRM system of theirs?
I don’t have any insight into the politics at Microsoft. If I come across a Zune, I might have more comments on their DRM system at that point. 
I know a lot of people at Microsoft and its PlaysForSure partners read us — what do you have to say to them?
I think the biggest mistake with the PlaysForSure / WM design is that it’s targeted too broadly. By incorporating forced product obsolesence and platform restrictions, it misses the mark in managing content rights. My suggestion to future designers is simple: don’t bother with weak client-side decryption. Instead, provide a public specification for licenses using digital signatures, manage the PKI through a not-for-profit organization, and apply social and legal pressure to programs that don’t comform. Accept that folks can trivially patch around the system, but if the restrictions aren’t onerous most people won’t go through the hassle. If WM files were already interoperable and the license terms were clearly communicated, there wouldn’t be anything left for a program like FairUse4WM to accomplish.
Thanks!

In what is perhaps the most astonishing turn of events in the ongoing Diebold fiasco, a new article in the latest issue of Rolling Stone — with extensive information direct from a named former company consultant — makes one of the most damning cases against the embattled company. The article weaves an elaborate tale of how Diebold had at the very least some extremely skeezy deals signed in 2002 with the state of Georgia, which allowed Diebold to replace all existing voting equipment, and to speed things up by the fall election: “The company was authorized to put together ballots, program machines and train poll workers across the state - all without any official supervision.” As if that weren’t enough, days before the primaries, the president of Diebold’s election unit, Bob Urosevich, personally distributed a patch to the elections software. The article goes on: “Georgia law mandates that any change made in voting machines be certified by the state. But thanks to Cox’s [Georgia's Secretary of State] agreement with Diebold, the company was essentially allowed to certify itself.” Before the election, the two Democratic candidates in the two major races (for one Senate seat and the state governorship) had been ahead in the polls, and on Election Day, Republicans won the two races by a slim margin — and given that no paper trail exists there is no way to prove or disprove that the election wasn’t tampered with in some way. And you wonder why we continue to insist on paper ballots for the time being?

Asus is putting its money where its HD DVD slot is, adding the swanky optical drive to its new line of W2 laptops with its latest addition, the W2P. Building on the previous W2J model, this slick little number packs HDCP support, HDMI out, an ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 chip, a hybrid analog / digital TV tuner, built-in Dolby surround sound, three-flavor WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, up to 2GB of SDRAM and “a range of” Merom Core 2 Duo chips including both 4MB L2 and 2MB L2 cache versions. Unfortunately, we’ve got zero intel on pricing or availability for now, but we’ll keep you updated on this multimedia powerhouse as more deets emerge.

The last time we heard from Microsoft on the topic of FairUse4WM, the infamous PlaysForSure stripping application, it was a red-alert memo after the release of version 1.2 pledging to patch that version as they had the first. Now, it occurs to us that once the floodgates have been opened there might not be any going back, but read the latest memo for yourself — we’re reserving judgment, namely because we’re not DRM (or anti-DRM) developers.
—copied from source—
Subject: Notification: WMDRM Circumvention Patch Available
MICROSOFT CONFIDENTIAL
This email provides information about Microsoft’s technical response to the FairUse4WM circumvention tool that is currently circulating on various Internet sites, which decrypts content protected by WMDRM. On September 19th, 2006, Microsoft released a new update to the Individualized Blackbox component (IBX) which thwarts all currently known versions of the FairUse4WM circumvention tool.
Supported platforms at this time include Windows Media Format SDK 9.5 and Windows Media Format SDK 11 Beta 2 on Windows XP, as well as the version of Windows Media Format SDK 11 that ships with Windows Vista Release Candidate 1. This update is not yet available for the Windows Media Format 9 Series FSDK or for users of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 2. Users of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 2 can be encouraged to download and install Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2, which is compatible with these robustness updates.
Partner feedback from our previous release was that it was important that we increment the Security Version of the IBX, allowing them to detect the presence of the update remotely. The following code snippet shows how to check for the existence of the IBX component Security Version on a client computer from the Rights Manager Server. (Verify that that the client system reports Security Version of 2.8 or greater.)
Get the secure DRM component (individualization) version.
Set LicenseObj = Server.CreateObject(”wmrmobjs.wmrmlicgen”)
LicenseObj.ClientInfo = strClientInfo
LicenseObj.GetClientVersion cat2, ver2
iSecurityVersion_major = round(ver2/256)
iSecurityVersion_minor = ver2 mod 256
If the user’s machine is on a platform that supports the update, you can initiate a re-individualization in one of two ways:
1) Send them to this web site, which will force a re-indiv (requires Internet Explorer).
http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp
2.) Use the FSDK APIs referenced below, which will force a re-indiv (requires an FSDK Certificate).

With next-gen console news being released at such a fast and furious pace these days, it’s starting to feel a little bit like Joystiq around here, so instead of reporting and analyzing every little snippet of new information in separate posts, we’ve rounded up the latest and greatest PS3 revelations into one tight bit of prose. Since pricing is such an important issue to most consumers, we’ll start there — but unfortunately, the news ain’t good. You probably already heard that those lucky gamers in Japan will be able to pick up their 20GB boxes for the equivalent of $428, but despite all the hoping and praying you’ve been doing, Kaz Hirai has reaffirmed that the recent price cuts apply to Japan only — though he threw the rest of the world something of a bone when he also announced that everyone will be getting an HDMI port on his/her low-end system. Speaking of high prices, Impress is citing “multiple sources” in predicting that most Japanese PS3 games will cost in the neighborhood of 8,800 to 9,800, which is between $75 and $85 here in America — ouch, that’s like a whole month’s allowance for us, and well above the going rate for 360 games. As long as we’re dwelling on the negatives, we should also mention that not only will HDMI cables be absent from the box, both Hirai and Ken Kutaragi are leaning away from even including component action with either package. Now on to the good stuff (sorry, there’s not much). First of all, it’s been confirmed that all PS3 games will indeed ship region-free (though it’s up to the developers to code in multilingual support, and Blu-ray movies will remain region-locked) and secondly, the inclusion of Dolby Digital and Dolby TrueHD (7.1 channels) is a done deal. Finally, and perhaps least importantly after all these downers, is the fact that the Wii-inspired, rumble-free controller has officially been dubbed “SIXAXIS” — though without the shakin’ action, we imagine that many of you could care less what they chose to call it. Anyway, that’s all for now from the exciting PS3 frontier, but keep your broswer tuned to this channel, as we’ll have just a little more Sony-related amusement for you later today.

Well, what have we here? Since the IEEE taskforce apparently can’t make up its mind about a final 802.11n protocol, some manufacturers have (understandably) just rolled out products based on the current draft(s). An eagle-eyed user has reportedly spotted one such wireless card in a less-than-expected location: within Apple’s newest iMac. While booted up into the latest version of Windows Vista, the built-in network adapter was recognized as being of the “Broadcom 802.11n” variety — not exactly the 54Mbps version we all expected to see. While we aren’t certain if there’s really a draft-spec card under the hood — especially since OS X is fairly adamant that it only supports 802.11b/g — Windows Vista is either uncovering a subtle secret (iTV to support 802.11n?), or else its a bit too sauced up to be taken seriously.

We’d like to take a moment to extend a hearty congratulations to consumer electronics stalwart Pioneer upon its very first entry into the ugly world of patent litigation. The Japanese manufacturer is suing Korea’s Samsung Electronics and Samsung SDI — no stranger to IP lawsuits, as it’s also embroiled in disputes with Panasonic and Fujitsu — for infringement of proprietary technology related to the production of plasma displays. Specifically, Pioneer claims that Samsung is violating patents pertaining to electrode configuration boosting display quality and a manufacturing step that increases display brightness — pretty serious stuff, we know. For its part, Samsung says that it’s planning to file a counter-suit, although this one may be just for posturing, as the company has apparently been in talks with Pioneer since April of last year concerning possible licensing agreements. Reuters points out that this move is the latest in a trend of aggressive intellectual property protection on the part of Japanese firms regarding potential infringement by their Asian rivals, with Panasonic and LG having recently settled a similar PDP-based brouhaha. We’ll keep you posted on this one as it slowly winds its way through the courts, but at the very least it seems that investors aren’t too concerned with Samsung’s culpability here: Pioneer shares gained 0.72% on the news, while Samsung stock actually rose even more, by a total of 2.77%.

While StormBlue didn’t update the aesthetics of its Bluetooth-equipped A9 PMP with its latest offering, the company did up the ante by adding capacity, tossing in a text viewer, and boosting the recording abilities. The A9+ sports a silver or black finish (sorry, no white option here), comes in 2GB and 4GB flavors, and rocks a built-in SD slot for further flash expansion. The 2-inch 220 x 176 resolution screen displays a proprietary MPEG-4 format (touting “20fps” playback), but includes software to “quickly convert” from AVI, WMV, DAT, ASF, and MPEG; musically, it supports MP3, WMA, OGG, and WMV-DRM. The integrated Bluetooth can be paired up with your favorite set of BT cans, and by boasting 39 hours of battery life (11 in movie mode), you’ll probably quit before this thing does. Voice memos and MP3 line-in recording are also on tap, but you’ll pay a premium for all these goodies — 109 ($207) for the 2GB version and 149 ($283) for the 4GB edition.

There are a few things you should do regularly to maintain your computer. Making security updates and running performance tools are two things, and backing up your files is another one. Windows Live OneCare, which I ve been using for two months now, can be set up to automatically do all of these things. Last week OneCare got its first real test. On Monday, the hard disk on my computer crashed, essentially losing all the files I had saved on my computer. All the e-mail, pictures, financial documents, and spreadsheets I had saved were gone. It was my home computer, but I lost some documents from work that I had been working on from home.
For the first time I had a chance to test the back-up and restore capabilities of OneCare. I m happy to say it passed. Except for the some changes I had made to a couple of files, I was up and running after I had repaired my computer.
With an external hard drive like the one I use, you can set up OneNote to do backups automatically with almost no intervention. (Backing up to CD or DVD isn t automatic.) I have OneCare set up to make backups once a week.
Setting up OneCare to create a backup is pretty easy.
- On the first screen you see when you open OneCare, on the right side of OneCare, under Backup and Restore, click Back up files.
- OneCare will walk you through the setup process whether you re going to save the files to a hard disk or removable storage, such as a CD or DVD.
And about the other important things (maintaining the performance and security of your computer) OneNote can do computer tune-ups and scans to help keep spyware and viruses off your computer. Visit the OneCare site to learn more about it. I really do recommend it. For the moment, you can also try OneCare free for 90 days.
And in the meantime, don t forget to back up your files. Here are some links that can help if you don t have OneNote.
