Now that was an insightful reply - if you are suggesting that I didn't read the article, I read it very carefully - maybe you want to go and lookup and see what DNA really is?
You know, I think this is a really great achievement, but calling it DNA is down-right incorrect and irresponsible. It's the beginning of bio-electrical circuits, some can argue the future of computing, but it has nothing to do with DNA...
I'm sorry, but this is sad - even pathetic... You are now going to pay a premium for a game and you are going to be forced to watch advertisements? Yes, I know, there are tricks you can use to avoid having to see the advertisements, but don't forget the basic premise - you paid for the game and now you are paying to watch the advertisements. The part that is pathetic is we, as consumers, somehow have made the transition to finding this acceptable...
With that attitude, you are correct - nothing will change. You are advocating that people sit down and wait for someone else, like the federal government (US) to tell a corporation or individual how to conduct business? So much for the free market concept...
Whether you believe it or not, you do have a choice - you can sit down and complain or you try to make a change, even if its one small step at a time. Doing nothing an accepting the status-quo is a choice in itself.
I'm not a Microsoft fan by any stretch of the imagination, but this constant Microsoft bashing just gets plain old... The poster is saying the only person with enough power or control over Microsoft is the feds - that's just wrong. Microsoft, like any other corporation for that matter relies on the marketplace for its existence. If you don't like Microsoft or their products, don't buy them - simple. If you feel really strong enough about it, convince your friends and colleagues also to not buy Microsoft products - provide alternatives rather than just bashing if you really want to get some results.

Just keep hitting parent until you get to the upper levels of the thread...
I hope that was meant as sarcasm...
The article was contracted by MS? Now that's ego for you...
