'filtering technology that allows for playback of legitimately purchased content versus non-legitimately purchased content.'

Wait, have they found a fool-proof way of finding whether content is non-legitimately purchased or legitimately non-purchased? How does Microsoft know (especially on limited hardware) whether a video was shot by me or by the MPAA?

Submission + - Google's Evil NDA

An anonymous reader writes: Google claims that it's motto is "Do No Evil" — but they sure have an evil NDA! In order to be considered for employment there, they require you to sign an agreement which forbids you to "mention or imply the name of Google" in public ever again. Further, you can't tell anyone you interviewed there, or what they offered you, and you possibly sign away your rights to reverse engineer any of Google's code ever. And this NDA never expires. Luckily, someone has posted the contents of the NDA before he signed it and had to say silent forever.
