Phoenix DRM Reads Your E-Mail
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."
I can read my email without booting any of my computers. My email is stored on the server so it's available to me, (and probably anyone else that's so inclined), at anytime. ///Security, Ha!!!\\\
LOL. never seen a mac boot in under 10 seconds. more like a minute and a half. slooooooow
try again!
-1 Troll!
I am glad that people are taking time to realise the power of the BIOS. I myself am writing EFInux, a version of Linux that runs in the EFI that intel developed.
There is more innovation on the way, such as slot nv motherboards (A processor slot for next generation GPU to break through the limits of AGP, Lebermaxx technology (A technology that will double your computers speed, think DDR for CPUs, Your 3.4Ghz processor will feel like 6.8Ghz, plus the DWLD (Dynamic Wavelenth Laser Drive) Which supports 37 different varities of CDROM/RW-R+R/DA/DVD plus zip, floppy, media cards, usb all in one 5.25 unit!
I bought a box of 3 AMD 450's with mobo's, ram, cards, and drives for $50.
So eat it.
I shower less freqently too. It gives me more time to watch gentoo emerge.
Also I get my mac to boot in under ten seconds by putting it on a satellite in a polar orbit while I fly on the space shuttle. Thanks to time dilation, and reduced gravity.
The "Aunt Tillie" entry was the deciding factor for me. ESR is a vain blowhard.
Get a shift key.
new internet worm opens Outlook!
DRM reads you!
