* Listening Post's Eliot Van Buskirk has a story about [libraries and Windows-only DRM][1]. "Physical library cards don't require a certain type of wallet; why should the electronic ones only work on Windows?"

* Game|Life [reports][2] that someone has figured out a way to use the PlayStation 3 as a digital video recorder using the Plextor ConvertX DVR and MythTV.

* According to an as-yet unverified document provided to [27B Stroke 6][3] by a privacy activist, there's a program afoot to standardize state driver's licenses and create a de facto national I.D card using private sector contractors.

* Hopefully the last item will one day end up in [The Museum of Unworkable Devices][4], which we discovered this morning via Table of Malcontents.
