That's _PRECISELY_ what they want. They would prefer you don't "own" anything, but instead have to pay every time you access their media. As for those pesky "silver discs"...If the only media you have is DRM encumbered, they can force you to rebuy every few years by simply shutting down the existing validation servers (for some lame reason). THAT is big media's wet dream.

And what do you do when the next version of UEFI won't _let_ you disable it? (as demanded by Microsoft) You are aware that Microsoft is supposedly the company that said "DOS isn't done until Lotus won't run." right? http://books.google.com/books?q=%22Lotus+won't+run%22&btnG=Search+Books Their thoughts on sabotaging competitors are well known. If we don't make an issue of it NOW, things will continue down the "slippery slope" until Linux is just a memory and an entry on Wikipedia.

Apple is not "innovative"; they're good at stealing ideas, repackaging, and selling them. Steve Jobs, in his own words said: "We have always been shameless at stealing good ideas" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0DUg63lqU Yes, the selling is doggone hard work, and Steve Jobs was one of the best salesmen this planet will ever see. And I will concede that other companies do their share of stealing too. Examples can always be found if you dig hard enough. But in this case, with such an obvious idea that a patent should never have been granted for, it's "pot kettle black" to Apple, as far as I'm concerned.

Licensing anywhere but the US is a joke. Media companies in other countries squabbling over and locking up the rights as "exclusive deals" keep things like Netflix, etc from being any kind of viable.

They REALLY help, and they're really cheap to make. If you don't want to make them yourself, you can buy them pre-made for around $5 on eBay

Just a question for those of you who think it's racist to deny H1B visas.... How many Americans who try to apply for the jobs in India that are being outsourced to that country are being denied work visas in India? Answers?

Well folks, IMHO it's no longer safe to carry electronics of any kind across the border anymore. Leaving yourself open to either confiscation or the border guards "finding something" makes it just too risky. Better to carry just yourself, your clothes, and _maybe_ a paperback.

Why not hear what the author himself has to say about it? http://www.raybradbury.com/images/video/about_freeDOM.html

Yep, because when the cloud is down, the users wander around aimlessly, unable to find or do anything *chuckle*

Yep, "dumb terminals" here we come again... Actually http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_client which still have a GUI, but store most of their data on servers. Leaves less for users to foul up.

How will "cloud computing" stop morons from installing virii and trojans on their desktop machines? Yes, "cloud computing" does away with the need for local tech staff to manage email and web servers... Google Apps does well for the company I work for. But local IT techs still have to maintain the network, and the end-user machines.

There is a solution... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marching_Morons
