iTunes Rumored to Go DRM-Free Today

According to a report submitted to AppleInsider by French technology site ElectronLibre, Apple may be poised to drop DRM from all major label tracks on iTunes today (Sony, Universal, and Warner — EMI already went DRM free in April ‘07).
In what amounts to a giant “f*ck you” to the United States, the report also claims Apple will run a “12 Days of iTunes” promotion that lets users in Germany, France and UK download “unlimited” tracks for a limited time after Christmas. This would be the biggest giveaway in iTunes’s history.
Will the major labels really give up DRM, effectively surrendering their long and arduous fight against their own customers? Will iTunes actually allow unlimited downloads to a select few countries while leaving their homeland out in the cold? Will little Timmy be able to raise enough money with his lemonade stand to save Christmas? Stay tuned, folks.

Codex does the same thing in Germany focusing their content around celebrity gossip and fashion in Germany. They power Cosmopolitan Germany and Elle Germany.

Do you think Glam still deserves their $500m valuation?

BSI, Germany’s Office for Information Security, is advising against using Google’s new Chrome web browser.
The warning has been broadcast on major German media networks (Berliner Zeitung and Tagesschau).
Advisory warns against using an un-finished beta browser, combined with concerns over Google controlling all data about its users.
Tiny commentary: We’ve already entrusted so much to Google, will the browser really make anyone stop now?

How much trust do you put in Google? Enough to use Chrome?
