Warripping
I just had a thought today, in the bathroom, where I have most of my good thoughts.
When the iPod was released, I bemoaned that it had no wireless connectivity. But now that iTunes will have Rendezvous capability -- share your playlists with any other Mac on the LAN, automatically -- I wonder if a wireless iPod isn't around the corner.
Imagine, having an iPod that just automatically picked up the playlists in the general vicinity. It's a new form of wardriving: walk around the city and steal^Wlisten to other people's music!

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
