Home cinemas are cropping up all over the place these days. I’m not talking about your all-in-one 5:1 set-up in the family living room here, but the real deal, where a room has been set aside – annexed - for that sole purpose.
There is an art to creating a great home cinema and the truth is, that unless you’re a builder/electrician/AV expert, you’re going to need some help. And money. Oh yes, money.
The best way to understand what’s involved is to check out this 10-step guide from Electronic House, which charts the rise of this swanky home cinema, complete with wet bar.
The piece is laid out as 10 chronological steps and offers a few sound tips to anyone planning to get rid of that unneeded dining room and make something really useful.-Martin Lynch

Why Is Apple Embedding Your Details Into Each DRM-Free Tune? June 2, 2007

Music lovers have waited a long time to get their mitts on DRM-free music [without pirating] and the recent deal between Apple and EMI seemed to be the answer.
Hell, most people don’t even mind forking out the extra 20p per track - a higher quality track too - for the privilege of being able to do what they like with them. But, there’s a shadow looming.
According to Ars Technica, Apple is embedding your name, account and email details in every DRM-free track you download. Why? The likely scenario seems to be that if the tunes you pay for end up on a P2P file sharing site online, or your mates iTunes catalogue, then they’ll be able to nab you for copyright infringement.
OK, we all know that a tool will arrive online to remove that incriminating info but until then what the hell is Apple playing at? The company is refusing to say – for now – but considering the amount of anger this move is causing, I’d be surprised if Apple didn’t make an official statement this week.-Martin Lynch
