Beaming him up one last time


The cremated remains of actor James Doohan, "Scotty" from "Star Trek", will be launched into space today if plans go ahead as scheduled. Doohan's remains, along with 200 others including Apollo 7 astronaut Gordon Cooper and aboard a private rocket scheduled to launch from Spaceport America in the New Mexico desert.

The first attempt at this in September failed, the rocket crashed. Let's hope the transporting beams them all up into the universe this time.

If all goes as planned Saturday, the cremated remains of the actor who portrayed "Scotty" aboard Star Trek's starship Enterprise will sail into suborbital space aboard a rocket launched from the southern New Mexico desert.

The remains of Gene Roddenberry, who created "Star Trek," were sent into space in 1997.

DRM free

According to Cnet News:

The face of digital music was potentially changed forever when record label EMI Group announced that it would be offering
premium versions of its albums available for download, with better audio quality and no digital rights management (DRM) restrictions attached. Even more surprisingly, EMI's first partner in the endeavor is Apple's iTunes Store, which many would argue is the poster child for DRM's shortcomings.

EMI's DRM-free offerings won't be available on the iTunes Store until next month, but the label has announced that the first premium album, the self-titled LP from
The Good, The Bad, and the Queen is available for purchase on the band's Web site. It's in .MP3 form--the iTunes Store's version will be in Apple's preferred AAC audio format.
