I doubt this thing will ever see the light of day in the real-world marketplace... People only like change when it is elegant and offers an advantage... this 'device' has very little appeal to anyone other than the copyright holders who are looking for yet another way to protect their intellectual property... the consumer will look at this thing and laugh... when will these people learn to leave well enough alone and stop trying to fix what is not broken... CDs and DVDs are a good enough format already, and any changes to the basic design of this media will be met with resistance and will likely end in abject failure.
Naaa... everyone knows Microsoft only uses voodoo when composing web browser code and that the underlying foundations of IE have nothing at all to do with the rest of reality... a manual? maybe they could use it as kindling for thier sacrificial fires as they conjure up the next baffling patch.
The heartless cruelty of the bottom line
No loyalty to families
No honor for spent time
No gold watch goodbyes
All to save a dime
Send them away empty and close the factories down
No suits need to worry
No American dreams rise
Your jobs moved to Asia
So that you can sell fries
I started WoW on November 17, 2005. That is 265 days ago now. A quick look at my three main characters will show that I have played 75, 24 and 14 days for a total of 113 out of the last 265 days of my life spent online, in that game, and that is all I do and all I think about most of the time. I spend my vacations at home doing marathon WoW sessions. My weekends consist of all night sessions separated by a few hours of sleep. The sad part is that I probably would play less if it was not for Blizzard's horible constraints on items such as mana potions and basic manufacturing materials. I spend half of my life farming the materials I need to help me be a viable member of my guild. Take away 20+ hours of material farming each week and I might actually have time for a walk. Yea right!

weak with the language this young blogger is, I sense much mistakes in him.
