If you purchased any music from iTunes between 2003 and 2009, you downloaded tracks with DRM in them. Apple’s long since removed the DRM, but you might not have. Wired shows how to update your music library with the new, DRM-free versions.

The process here is pretty simple, but if you’re anything like me, you never bothered to actually do it:

1. In iTunes, select iTunes > Preferences and click the "Store tab"
2. Make sure "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" is checked and close the Preferences panel
3. Click on the cloud icon in your list view
   and make sure all your purchases are there
4. Now, delete the old DRM versions by sorting by "Kind" in the list view (if it’s not there, go to View > Show View Options and select it)
5. Scroll down to see if any tracks are listed as "Protected AAC audio file." That’s the DRM music you need to replace

Once you run through the process of deleting those songs you can download them from the cloud at any point, DRM free. This has been around for a while, but if you haven’t grabbed those DRM free versions, nows as good a time as any.

All kids lie at some point or another, and we can’t always tell when they’re doing it (those little buggers). There are two things, however, you can say to your children to get them to be honest.

Eric Barker cites findings from NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children, which says that children (at least young ones) lie to try to please you or make you happy. So the first strategy to getting the truth out of them is to tell them you’ll be really happy if they tell you the truth:

What really works is to tell the child, "I will not be upset with you if you peeked, and if you tell the truth, I will be really happy." This is an offer of both immunity and a clear route back to good standing. Talwar explained this latest finding: "Young kids are lying to make you happy—trying to please you." So telling kids that the truth will make a parent happy challenges the kid’s original thought that hearing good news—not the truth—is what will please the parent.

The second thing to say can cut down lying by 25%: "I’m about to ask you a question. But before I do that, will you promise to tell the truth?" (Hopefully the kid will say "yes.")
