    Could this possibly tie in with their crappy newly-released PCs? I'd love to get one of those and tear it apart to see what DRM they've put in.

      You can do that, as soon as you buy a DRM-enabled screwdriver to undo the DRM-enabled screws on the DRM-enabled case.

    Up next: DRM for your brain. Maybe now I can get rid of all those silly TV theme songs constantly playing in my head.
