Modding…ummm…yikes

“Matthew Crippen was arrested yesterday for hacking game consoles (for profit) in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. He was released on a $5,000 bond, but faces up to 10 years in prison. This is terribly disturbing to me; a man could lose 10 years of his freedom for providing the service of altering hardware. He could well lose much of his freedom for providing a modicum of it to others. There is no piracy going on, necessarily — the games a modified console could run may simply not be signed by the vendor. It’s much like jailbreaking an iPhone. But it seems because he is disabling a ‘circumvention device’ it is a criminal issue. Guess it’s time to kick a few dollars over to the EFF.” —Jhoger
Not exactly like this is an uncommon thing. I guess he was just a little too “relaxed” with how he spread the word. People have been modding consoles for years to play digitally unsigned material.

Xbox 360 Media Woes
I know it’s an old article but I was talking with Frohboy about this so I decided to throw it up. Wish they would just port Boxee to the 360 and not just computers and the Apple TV. But anyway, maybe we will get Hulu at some point soon anyway. I’m not quite sure why we don’t have a browser yet. I mean, I even had a browser on my original Xbox (obviously not stock..but still). Anyway, I’m sure it will be done at some point in the future. At least for the meantime I’m able to dish out my media from my home server to the 360 nicely.

Oh yea, there’s also a program you can check out that will let you stream Hulu, Youtube, etc to your 360, PS3 and such but you still need a computer to run the service on. I’m not using it because I’d rather wait until it streams straight to the box.
