blogs.zdnet.com — I was listening to an engadget podcast from CES and they described Viiv as drm. Sure enough here is an article saying what intel doesn't want to say. Viiv is DRM.and soylent green is made out of people...PEOPLE!

Funny...Last time I asked the prop guys, Soylent green was condensed bread and green food coloring..Noone really liked eating it, hence why you rarely saw anyone consume it on set.People with brains will realize that Viiv isn't made for the people so much as the MIAA and RIAA and Apple's paranoia about OS installations.Hence why you'll rarely see people with brains consume it.Let's be honest here. Who wants to be tied down to what corporations want?

nice, if you screw up the digg captcha, it turns all your newlines into "rn" and makes your post one big paragraph. Obviously that must come from "rn", the DOS-ish way of doing newlines.

"Hell, the fact remains that without DRM, you're just not going to get the content anymore."What total bunk. Without DRM, you wouldn't get the content *from the companies that make it* and you could continue pirating it all you like. Oh wait, we still can!DRM will eventually die. This is just a simple fact. It will last a long time, but the facts are that DRM helps them protect their content not one bit, and only serves to make legitimate users trying to do legitimate things have more and more problems doing them. And so, eventually, all DRM systems get the bad rap in the public mind that the DRM systems actually deserve.People will stop buying into DRM schemes only when they get bitten in the ass by those schemes. Already you have Napster people bitching that they can't use their iPod and iTunes people bitching that they can't use their non-iPod. I welcome DRM. More and more DRM schemes only give people more and more reasons to go out and find ways to crack those DRM schemes. :)

Well I haven't heard of this news yet but yeah Digg! I though ViiV was going to do video encode/decode on videos? rnBut I know this is the start for intel to deploy DRMed processors & obviously AMD will follow suit! rn
