Maybe it's because IT workers already spend lots of time in "virtual" social forums, where they sit and chat about work with other similarly inclined types, like, umm, "Slashdot". Who needs a real person when you have thousands of like-minded geeks ready to reply to your every inane comment? *grin*
Every digital signal has to be "decoded" i.e. turned into analog, before it can reach your ears. If you don't like SDMI encrypting your music, play it through some analog device and re-record it in another. Encryption never stopped the photocopier.

Did anyone else notice how many commercials were only funny because they contained references to other commercials (which were funny in the first place because they commented on popular culture?)
I want to see a commercial where the E-trade monkey and the Pets.com puppet get together and paint a Campbell's soup can while mindlessly jabbering "WAZZUP!@#" to each other...
