Canadian
buyers of MP3 players to get refund
Globe and Mail - Canada
Canadians who bought an MP3 player last year could be eligible for a
refund of up to $25.
Apple, Sony, and Hewlett-Packard announced this week that they would refund the
"piracy" levy customers paid on their MP3 players, including the iPod, between
December, 2003 and December, 2004, after the Supreme Court of Canada refused
last month to overturn a Federal Court of Appeal decision that rendered the levy
invalid.
"Apple is pleased that the Supreme Court of Canada let stand a lower court
ruling that blank media levies on iPods are invalid, and will shortly announce a
claims process so consumers can request a refund for the levies they paid," the
company said in a press release late Monday.
The company is offering no timeline or information at this time on how users can
get their refunds, but a company spokesman said that information would be made
available soon.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Will
viruses hitch a ride on car computers?
CNET News.com - USA
Here's a new excuse for not getting to work on time on a Monday morning:
My car caught a virus.
Car industry officials and analysts say hackers' growing interest in writing
viruses for wireless devices puts auto computer systems at risk of infection.
As carmakers adjust on-board computers to allow consumers to transfer
information with MP3 players and mobile phones, they also make their vehicles
vulnerable to mobile viruses that jump between devices via the Bluetooth
wireless technology that connects them.
"I'm afraid there is a risk in using a Bluetooth connection in cars," said
Yevgeni Kaspersky, head of antivirus research at closely held Russian firm
Kaspersky Lab.
"If the smart phones and on-board computers have the same channel to transfer
the data...sooner or later the hackers will find the vulnerability in the
operating systems of on-board computers and...will definitely use it," he added.
The worst that could happen is that the computer's control of engine performance
and emissions, navigation and entertainment systems cease to function. That
would probably mean an annoying trip to the repair shop or having to reboot the
system.Write Comment (0 Comments) |
