Can't be bothered to read all that marketing-speak. Can anyone summarise it into English?!

Given that this is Sony, I think I see potential for a new line of bukkake films. I think that Bush may have to be blacked out, though, under Japanese pornography rules. Maybe it'd have to be anime.
I am disgusted that I know enough to have written the above post, btw. It's all second-hand knowledge. Honest.
I recently built a computer for someone else that didn't have internet access. I Installed (legally) several pieces of software. I realized what a pain it is to do. Several of the programs (one of which was MS Office) would not even function until you registered it. That means register it on the internet or wait several days for a registration number.
The problem I have with programs like OpenGX (and MS Office) is that they are part of a trend toward forcing users to have internet access on every computer they use in order to use software that has nothing to do with the internet.
The internet used to be a way for the user to be connected with the world. Now, it is becoming a way for the world to keep an eye on you.
