Mike Masnick over at techdirt has an informative editorial up about Keurig's coffee maker DRM being cracked by its competitors.

... it appears that Keurig competitors have already figured out ways to crack the DRM. TreeHouse Foods very quickly announced that it would be able to break the DRM. Meanwhile, Mother Parkers' RealCup has just announced that its pods are compatible with Keurig's DRM. It's a little unclear from the press release if Mothers Parkers cracked the DRM or came to a deal with Green Mountain, though it sure sounds like it was internal work ...

Being both coffee and tech related, it had to be submitted.

    I buy fresh roasted beans when I'm near a roaster outlet. It's a fun side trip to find roasters in areas you are visiting, they always have something good to sell you. The professionals roast better than I can, they have expensive equipment and considerably more expertise than I do. But a hot air popper costs $5 at a thrift store, and the variety of green beans available on the 'net is overwhelming and not expensive. www.sweetmarias.com [sweetmarias.com]

    Fresh roasted coffee is not my first pot of the day, I save it for when it can be savored and I am awake.

    For those living in Montreal (or going there some times), There are some really nice coffee places.

    Brulerie St-Denis (http://www.brulerie.com/) and Brulerie Mont-Royal (https://foursquare.com/v/br%C3%BBlerie-montroyal/4b292cd9f964a520509a24e3) come to mind.

    If you go to Brulerie Mont-Royal, it's in Montreal's gay village, and there are some really amazing restaurants there. Mezcla (http://restaurantmezcla.com/en) and Miyako (https://plus.google.com/103809532365481083173/about) are two of them.
