Phoenix DRM Reads Your E-Mail

Posted by michael on from the no-joking-matter dept.

martensitic writes "eWeek reports that Phoenix has developed a utility allowing users of its laptop DRM BIOS (last discussed here) to 'check their Outlook data on a notebook computer without needing to boot the machine.' Since Longhorn is still several years away, Pheonix is developing their own trusted apps to sell the BIOS to laptop manufacturers. One can only imagine what other innocuous bells and whistles will be used to leverage DRM onto Joe Laptop's machine."

    You really don't need to append your nick to the end of your comments. Your user name is already attached to all comments you post and is actually a link to your history. I really want to know why you think your nick is needed at the bottom of your comments.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
