It cannot, ever, unless they disallow software players from any platform not running on Trusted Computing enabled hardware and a Trusted Computing enabled operating system.
Sadly to say, you post contains a few of those popular myths that would disappear if you bothered to check the facts;)
Myself, I don't have a PS3. I will buy one when it appears here in europe though, since it's a nifty piece of hardware which I intend to play around with through Linux.
Stores in the US ran a $100 rebate on the X360 for months last autumn (way above the profit margin - if there is any) without people claiming there were any problems with the sales.
Valentine's day in Japan is then the girls buy presents for the boys, btw, which makes this store offer perfectly natural (they sell lots more than videogames)
However, the above facts don't fit well with the current anti-Sony groupthink, and thus you won't see it if you don't bother to verify your information sources yourself.
No - lots of people could make (and have made) key extraction from iTunes long after hymn stopped working. There's however no point in releasing anything, since myFairTunes6 and QtFairUse6 are used instead to de-DRM your purchased music.
The actual changes that need to be done to extract the unencrypted frames when a new version of iTunes is released is simply less than to wade through a new version of the key obfuscation layer.
Appearance modes are "a hint to the platform". IBM are free to ignore it, but I'm quite surprised if they do with BUTTON. It's used as an example in the documentation:
Java ME has a tough task (especially the UI parts) being "write once run anywhere" since it runs on top of a lot of proprietary platforms. I think it has done an excellent work with that in mind.
(I've spent several years implementing MIDP on top of such a platform)
... on the other hand, I do agree with you that the UI support in MIDP2 is less than optimal. Most of the time you're rolling your own stuff using Canvas or CustomItem instead.
You could've used the time it took you to write this post to check the facts instead, but sure. Do a whois on nexgenwars.com - see the nameservers - go to that website.

The lack of 720p (at least) really hurts what would otherwise be a nice feature. I have my Wii connected (480p of course) to a projector with a 110" canvas, and yet I need to zoom a lot of the time to be able to read text.

Anyway. Blu-ray holds 25Gb per side, and dual layer discs have been made for a while now. That's 50Gb.
Yes, there are lots of interesting thoughts this brings about. I've had this for a while:
Q: Why do we need dark matter to explain the rotation of galaxies?
A: The rotation was first described when static rotating textures was used for visible galaxies, now the simulation has to include something that fits in with that as well as gravity
And I'm pretty sure all the adds say that it's a HDTV system with line doubling.
In Europe you're not allowed to call a system HD ready if it cannot accept a 720p signal. My original statement is correct, no matter how many times you want to show your ignorance.
(Oh, btw, you totally flunked this discussion when you attacked the poor anonymous coward below - whom of course isn't me)
You're incorrect if you believe that the sets you listed above do 1080i and 480i/p but not 720p. Either they're not HDTV (thus 576i here) - or they do 720p (or, they at least accept it as a signal and scale from there).
So, back to my original statement. The problem you so desperately want to be huge (most likely being a fanboy of some sorts) isn't, since it's limited to old CRT HDTVs that have only really been popular in the US anyway.
so your rebuttal is that because it's in the US it doesn't matter
Yes. You're talking about old CRT HDTV sets - modern screens (and that's the variant we have in Europe, btw) are all flat (LCD, Plasma) and are 720p natively (or accept the signal and scale it) or, now, 1080p.
The USA is not that big a market, compared to the EU, Asia etc. Lots of companies have no problems at all concentrating fully on products even if they cannot be sold in the US.

Until then, no DRM scheme works.
None.
It's that simple.

With retailers in Japan effectively dropping the price a second time
Or, you can check the non-biased original source and see that it was one chain as a special up-until Valentine's promotion.
The anti-Sony groupthink made it into something completely different though.
Have they? Weird - I use QtFairUse6 all the time to be able to move my iTunes purchases to my Walkman phone.
The method used is also "un-unbreakable" - as long as iTunes don't require TPM-enabled client hardware and software.

Uh, only if you're the site's 18 year old admin - who's just guessing anyway.
http://www.vgcharts.org/ actually has some valid data behind their numbers.
I'm sorry if my previous post was unclear. Everything released today, and since several months, is on dual layer Blu-ray.
(... and, since those same several months, movies released on Blu-ray also use the VC-1 codec)
The question is - why do you keep posting when you clearly don't know what you're talking about?
The lack of 720p (at least) really hurts what would otherwise be a nice feature. I have my Wii connected (480p of course) to a projector with a 110" canvas, and yet I need to zoom a lot of the time to be able to read text.
Pity.

Anyway. Blu-ray holds 25Gb per side, and dual layer discs have been made for a while now. That's 50Gb.
HD DVD dual layer is 30Gb.

Oh well your from Europe I'll understand your bias..
At least we can spell "you're" correctly, and compose grammatically correct sentences.
so your rebuttal is that because it's in the US it doesn't matter
Yes. You're talking about old CRT HDTV sets - modern screens (and that's the variant we have in Europe, btw) are all flat (LCD, Plasma) and are 720p natively (or accept the signal and scale it) or, now, 1080p.
Try non scratchable and 50Gb, with 100Gb already demoed.

Exactly, and this happened only a few weeks ago.
