Actually I guess that would be three words, Digital Rights Management.
The most pervasive DRM in use is the Windows Media DRM. While Firefox and Safari can play unprotected Windows Media, it does not have the DRM plugin. Hence Movielink, Netflix, and many others do not support anything other than IE. Perhaps with the new DRM for Flash Video this will change. Only time will tell.
Someone has obviously written this article as a veiled attack on MySpace. I don't really have an opinion on MySpace, but the fact is, ANYONE can post an tag to show a video on their profile.
The person (author of the article?) got a video link to a video from Zango which was DRM'd. The DRM is what makes your Windows Media Player popup that window. The file's DRM tells the Windows Media Player what URL to pull up. Anyways, all this person did was post a DRM'd video.
Why not have a touch screen selection of your candidate and have the computer print/punch your ballot for you? You can verify that it created a ballot that reflects your vote and hand it in. This would allow for permanent physical evidence of your vote, and make filling out the ballot REALLY EASY. Maybe the ballot could even be printed out to read,
You have voted for: Your President for President You Veep for Vie President
Wouldn't that be the easiest way to make sure you voted the way you wanted to???
As a Bolivian-American, I have many things to consider before voting. One of those things is the candidates' views on the drug war. I am writing from Bolivia right now, where I am on vacation and where I grew up. And where I am stuck in my hometown of Santa Cruz because the coca growers and drug force are chopping limbs off and killing each other on the Santa Cruz-Cochabamba highway. (This is the area where the drug war goes on.) All because the United States cannot and will not concentrate on its drug problems FROM home and AT home. Its easier for us to kill each other and human rights violations to not come out in the open, than for the US to allow anything that comes close to this to happen in their homeland. My other homeland.
And here comes in Bush, whose VP Cheney is renowned for his work in this area. So to me, Bush is out of the question and I feel he should be for anyone with Latino relatives in countries infested by the DEA (whose reputation of corruption overseas is not unknown). But of course it is an individual decision.
And our current president has definitely asked for US help, of course if we deny the DEA our help, ALL our USAid would be cut off. And Pres. Banzer is an ex-US puppet dictator from the 70s, just like Pinochet and others.
So my country is in chaos and Bush uses his drug war plan (Cheney's?) to bait voters. And I still havent been able to visit my relatives in Cochabamba. And the coca growers are penniless as acres and acres of plantations are erradicated and they are forced to switch to less viable crops such as bananas. Which we couldnt export if we wanted to since the US fixed that with the Banana Republic (Guatemala).
Sounds like plans for a coprocessor that translates X86 instructions into some native instruction set to be executed a processor. In otherwords a translator for the x86 instruction set so that transmetas chip can pretend to be a pentium. The claim it will be faster though.

What a stupid article. It's all FUD to me.

what are the licensing issues involved here? It talks about creating a secure 'commercial operating system'. I wonder...
but is it *intended* to circumvent copyright, or just play the dvd?

do they have to rename it to something completely different now?
