Hollywood wants in your computer

It's all about DRM, then. Digital Rights Management. Installed into your computer if you get anything with the new Pentium D chip and accompanying 945 chip set. Listen to what Darknet has to say about it. And from PCWorld:

"The situation presents an interesting dilemma for IT security managers as they may now be beholden to hardware-embedded security over which they have little say, information or control.

Intel's reticence to speak publicly about what lies under the hood of its latest firmware technology has also prompted calls to come clean from IT security experts, including Queensland University of Technology's assistant dean for strategy and innovation, IT faculty, Bill Caelli.

'It's a dual-use technology. It's got uses and misuses. Intel has to answer what guarantees it is prepared to give that home users are safe from hackers. Not maybes, guarantees'.

Caelli said it was 'critical Intel comes clean' about how the current DRM technology is embedded into the new CPU and chipset offering.

Microsoft was unavailable for comment at press time."





Microsoft and Disney are a bit too big for their britches me thinks. Much like these cute kittens that are completely unrelated to this post:
