Sony music cds might install spyware on your system

A few minutes ago I read a news article written by Brian Krebs who described how some Sony Music Cds try to install a software on pcs that could be labeled as spyware.

It seems that we have reached a new level in the fight between the record companies and its consumers. If you put a music cd in question into your drive a installer will popup. If you agree to install the software you won´t find a uninstall feature anywhere on your pc.

Apparently all Music Cds labeled “Content enhanced & protected” have the installer on the CD, make sure you check this before you buy a cd you would want to hear using your pc.

New Rumors on PS3 delay

The BBC claimed yesterday that Sonys Playstation 3 console system would be delayed for another year which would mean the system would debut in 2007 and not in mid 2006 as expected. Unfortunatly they did not cite any sources and most readers had the feeling it was simply another rumor.

Today joystiq.com cites an unnamed ex-gamestop employee who seemingly shed some light into the rumor.
