Transmeta to Incorporate DRM in TM5800 Processor

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday January 14, 2003 @05:38AM from the great-way-to-boost-sales dept.

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?"

Peter Townshend, Arrested at 57 by Anonymous Coward · 2003-01-14 06:00 · Score: -1, Offtopic

London police today arrested legendary 60's rocker Peter Townshend on child pornography charges. Even if you did not like his Mod-esque musical stylings, you can still hope enough of his soon-to-be fellow prisoners do so that when he gets out in 20 years his anus will not be as broken as the guiatar he played at Monterey. Truly a British icon.
