DRM Doesn't Enable Business Models; Blind Fear Disables Business Models
,----[ Quote ]
| And that's my real problem with DRM. It cannot enable a
| new business model economically. That's because it's
| only purpose is to limit behavior. There are no
| business models that are based solely on limiting
| behavior. It may be the case that some companies may be
| too afraid to implement a business model without this
| faux "protection," but that's entirely different than
| saying DRM enables the business model.

Intel Inside Could Mean a TV That Watches You
,----[ Quote ]
| Intel is putting Atom processors almost everywhere
| these days, with the latest target being televisions.
| The company announced a new Atom-based system-on-a-chip
| (SoC) design for television sets to make them the hub
| of social networking and interactivity.
|

|
| Another, potentially disturbing element for privacy
| advocates, of the smart TV was it knew, thanks to a
| mobile Internet device (MID) Rattner had been carrying,
| that he recently visited a musical instrument store.
| The MID told the TV this, and among the different shows
| offered for suggested viewing were shows on guitarists.
| At the bottom of the screen were banner advertisements,
| one of them for a guitar store.

Cable Lobbyists Side With MPAA On Getting Permission To Break Your
TV
,----[ Quote ]
| The MPAA and cable companies could offer up movies whenever they
| want. They just don't want people to record them, because they
| want to introduce yet another annoying window. So, they declare
| that they need to break your TV and DVR from recording.
