PCMagazine reports that Unlocking your cell phone is now fully legal here in the U.S.—at least for the next three years. Last week, the Register of Copyrights released the latest list of exemptions to 1998’s Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and along with it, some welcome news for cell phone users.
Of the six proposed exemptions (the largest number to date), the one that arguably affects U.S. consumers the most is number five on the list, which covers:
“Computer programs in the form of firmware that enable wireless telephone handsets to connect to a wireless telephone communication network, when circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of lawfully connecting to a wireless telephone communication network.”
In other words, it is now permissible for anyone to “unlock” a phone tied to one network and use it with another; as long as they own the phone.
Prior to this ruling, the act of taking a phones with a consumer after switching carriers was considered an infringement of the old carrier’s property rights. Consequently, customers were often forced to either return or throw away their old phones—that, or pay exorbitant fees to get a new phone along with their new plan.
Good news!!!

If you are using Windows XP and you want to set the priorities for particular tasks your system is performing, here is how you do it. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to get the task manager in Windows XP Home edition or press Ctrl+Alt+Del and select task manager in Windows XP Professional edition. Once the task manager is up, select the process you want to prioritize, right click on it, go to set priority and select the priority level you want.
