Transmeta to Incorporate DRM in TM5800 Processor

smiff writes "Silicon Valley is reporting that Transmeta will embed 'security' features in its TM5800 Crusoe processor. 'Transmeta said its Crusoe processors...would be slightly altered to tackle security and address requirements for securing sensitive data and intellectual property.' With everyone looking out for security, why don't I feel all warm and fuzzy inside?"

And now we watch

I'm curious to see if, now that the darling processor company of Slashdot, having announced DRM on future chips, will be met with the same hatred that similar announcements from both Microsoft and Intel have been met.

And no, moderators, this is not a troll. I have watched here, literally for years, as unpopular announcements from Intel and Micrsoft have been pronouced to be the work of the Anti-Christ, and then similar announcements from, using them as examples, Apple or AMD have been either quickly swept under the carpet, or passed off with offhand "well, its a competitor to Intel and Microsoft, so this time its good" attitude. Those of you who moderate this post down will only serve to further prove my point.
