- Lose a Laptop or PDA? You Get Your Stuff Back with Property ID Asset Tags
Thousands of very expensive digital and electronics items go missing every day as we absent-mindedly leave them behind in public places. The reason that most are not returned is that they are not labeled with owner information. Now several new companies have launched “Lost & Found” services to help get your lost items returned to you. They achieve this by offering “asset tags,” unique labels marked with identifying numbers so they can be tracked back to you through web sites and toll-free phone numbers. Many offer rewards for reporting and turning in the items for return to their proper owners. - Working Together: Your Music, Movies, Photos on Your iPod, Cell Phone & PDA
Movie and television studios and music labels continue to fight for Digital Rights
Management (DRM) as consumers continue to fight against attempts to stifle them
from using purchased music and video content on all of their multiple electronic
devices. Electronics manufacturers continue to give in to the studios by hobbling
music players and DVD recorders so they won’t work interchangably with other
devices using proprietary software and a multitude of copy protection schemes.
Consumers will eventually bypass these schemes or stop buying hobbled hardware.
