* Mozilla's Songbird Media Player [has been updated][1], bring the fledglingly player to version 0.2.5. Note that if you're an existing Windows user the automatic software update does not work. You must manually download and install Songbird 0.2.5.

* Speaking of software updates, Wine, the popular Windows emulator for Unix received a [minor update recently][2]. The update is primarily a bug fix release and reportedly addresses some Direct3D issues.

* Windows Vista [has offically been cracked][3]. A pirate group by the name of Pantheon has released a true crack that uses Vista's own activation program unlike previous hacks which relied on beta activation files or timestop cracks. It might not be what Microsoft had in mind, but it could speed the adoption of Vista.

* The RIAA has been [sending out letters][5] to college students accusing them of infringing copyright and offering to settle if they identify themselves and confess. The main batch of letters was aimed at Marshal University which was recently brought into the spotlight by the film *We Are Marshall*, making it a high profile target for the publicity hungry RIAA.
