The remote comes with a software upgrade as well. Their claim right now is that DVD playback was disabled by default to avoid paying DVD licensing fees. The licensing fee is then made up for by purchasing the $30 remote.

> - most of the universe is composed of Dark Matter
Dark matter accretes. This means that when it comes into contact with normal matter, it transforms it into dark matter too. This is unstoppable.
If most of the universe is composed of Dark Matter, and Dark Matter turns all normal matter into Dark Matter on contact, that would state that all matter is already Dark Matter.
I used to work for an ASP, and your could not be more wrong. The applications and backups do not belong to you. When you contract for a service through an ASP, you get exactly that, a SERVICE. Yes, some of the data belongs to you, but not all of it. If you want to buy an application from me, and then pay me to host it for you, that is much different than contracting into the standard ASP(service) model.
As for data, not all of the data would have any meaning to you anyway. Think of how much data is needed to run most applications, independant of the data its actually doing work upon. You are entitled to any data you sent to your ASP (You should have backed it up when you sent it anyway), and you are entitled to all data which was contracted to be sent back to you on a timely basis. A non-technical example of this would be if you contract me to smelt iron ore for you. You are entitled to any ore I didn't smelt, along with all the iron I did derive from your ore. You are not entitled to the supply of natural gas I have on hand to melt your ore down.
They did this because they have created their own instruction set and transport. The more companies they can get onboard with their technology, the harder it will be for Intel to push their own proprietary technology.
Simply put, its not about having GREAT partners, its about having the MOST partners.
