* Microsoft [strikes back][1]. In an effort to address Windows Vista cracks, a post on the Windows Genuine Advantage blog outlines what will happen to pirated copies of Vista: "Windows Vista will use the new Windows Update client to require only the 'frankenbuild' systems to go through a genuine validation check. These systems will fail that check because we have blocked the RC keys for systems not authorized to use them. The systems will then be flagged as non-genuine systems and the experience will be... losing certain functionality (e.g. Aero, ReadyBoost) and the system will have 30 days to activate with a good product key."

* [eMusic][4], a DRM-free MP3 retailer for independent artists, has announced that is has now [sold over 100 million songs][5]. The lucky 100 millionth downloader will be immortalized in song by The Barenaked Ladies and will be featured as a bonus track on their upcoming new album.

* It still doesn't appear to be on the main page of [Adobe Labs][6], but an enterprising Digg reader located the [download url][7] for the Photoshop CS 3 beta. Be forewarned: it's a 685 MB monster for Mac, the Windows version is 337 MB.
