So, what your suggesting is another witch hunt to rival the quest to snuff out communism, when the real cause of this "problem" can is your beloved RIAA. If the music that was available was worth listening to, more people would buy CD's. The other thing that this neglects is that I can, quite legally, go online to get CD's. With stores like iTunes, and other following their business model, your "family friendly record store" business model is becomming outdated, and you have to assume that piracy is to blame rather than bad music and better, legal, distribution. Oh, and the reason books sell better is that THEY don't have DRM software that built in.
apparently not to the people of UCLA.
"security audit, who needs that, we have never had a break in be..Sir, someone just informed me that a large number of our student records may have been compromised"
"And Microsoft has some of its most seasoned talent from the division that created its popular Xbox 360 working on it."
so it will be released is next to insignificant quantities, overheat horribly, be reacalled within weeks, and be replaced with a [insert handheld name] v2.0
next we will all be saying that it is alright that the gov't has our phone lines all tapped, just on the off chance a terrorist might call us and ask for help. why don't we all just back up all of our data online, let them read it all, and find the horrible people then.
now for me, If you live in a free society, you must tolerate risks in the name of freedom too. this sounds more reasonable. forget the injustices we "must" suffer to remain safe, and start taking a few more risks to ensure that we remain free. otherwise our government becomes no better than the old soviet government or the governmtner that orwell created in 1984 with big brother watching over us.
