I'm waiting for them to open them up to google apps email addresses :(

You say this but steam itself is DRM, it may be unintrusive (Depending on your view), but you can't run the games outside of steam (Without cracks). I personally like it because it gives me the automated ease to keep my games neatly (instead of downloading them off some other site). However given that watching videos is largely a different situation and creators of these medias love and rely on their DRM you would need to have an unintrusive drm that also allows the watching of videos on other devices/tvs. I can't really picture a perfect solution, but you seem to have overlooked the fact that its very unlikely DRM will just be dropped with any form of digital media.

Do they have any jurisdiction over this? It wasn't even hosted in the US.

What about iTunes and amazon music etc, don't these count as legal online markets to purchase music? (Or are these unavailable in Finland?)

"The session cookies are sent over unsecured HTTP" Isn't this basically the same as the way the firefox addon firesheep worked?

Yes but desktops don't get used in direct sunlight anyway, which is one of the main reasons for wanting matte laptop screens.

If anything there are maybe 2 people on my course of 80+ (ball park guess) who have been programming for an extended period of time before university (e.g. 5+ years), past that most peoples experience is either from starting via 6th form (16-18yrs education) or not at all, this may just be because i didn't want to goto Warwick and I'm not at Oxbridge, but most CS graduates aren't coming from those elite places anyway.

I'm in my first year of a degree doing computer science at the University of Sheffield (UK), our course is made up of maybe 50% who hadn't programmed before coming to university (this includes not doing ICT[yeah that's nothing like cs] or computer studies at Secondary school). When i asked some people why they chose computer science they just shrugged, these same people struggle with a lot of the programming concepts we have covered in java past the initial 'this is a for loop, this is a select case statements etc'. I was really surprised when i got to University and my course wasn't full of 'nerdy' or geeky people as such, I just feel that some people didn't really know what they were getting into. So i agree that having programming experience and enjoying it is a necessity of doing a computer science degree (some may argue that the maths is the most important side). Even worse is the fact ~90% of the ITMB (IT and business management) students who have the java, software engineering and web/internet technology modules, lack even the slightest interest in programming or any of the CS modules when this is taking up half of their degree. Anyone should know that its far easier to learn something when you have interest in it, so back to the point why do people choose to do CS. Personally i had been playing around with vb.net and lua for a couple of years making loads of small utilities before i reached university (this involved software engineering coursework at a2) instead of going out clubbing and drinking, but some people just seem a bit naive about programming and struggle past 'Hello World!'. I'm not trying to say that i'm amazing, there are people who excel past me at programming. But there are only 10-25% of the course who can code competently, and a few others who excel at the maths side (usually Romanian international students). I just pity some of the people who will be in teams together for our software engineering module next year (where we have to produce a real product for a real customer in teams of 4 [50% of marks are awarded by a manager at the company your developing the software for]), maybe they will be better with haskell (functional programming language) which we learn next year.
