Palladium

I read the newest article from the website microsoft-watch.com. Microsoft will be releasing a demo at the end of the May with will feature the hardware/software death combo (NGSCB). I am too upset for words. If you dont know what Palladium or secure computing base is I would advise you to do some research. Do we all need to find a way to build chips to protect our own privacy? should we have to go that far? I want my computer and everything in it to be MINE! is that too much to ask? This technology isnt limited to microsoft - it will be on every electronic device ( even your TV remote ) This a serious issue that chaps my hide! Most idiots will rush out and but the latest and greatest technology and not even know how to use it or even care what it does behind the scenes, which makes the fate of the world of technology in peril for the people who really care....DAMN YOU MICROSOFT, DAMN YOU WHINNY ARTISTS WHO THINK THAT SHARING IS WRONG, DAMN YOU POWER HUNGRY MULTI-NATIONAL CONGLOMERATES, and most of all, DAMN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING ON THIS TECHNOLOGY! Don't they have a heart?

  :mad:

maybe you are mistaking bad for good

the fact that people will be FORCED to upgrade to this technology - and even other technologies to remain compatibile with everyone else will pressure people to question why they even should literally replace their existing hardware & software.

maybe some of the masses will upgrade - but I have talked to and overheard many people talking about windows and upgrading and even the word palladium and evil thrown arround.

Calum:
and i think your anger at performers for being 'whinny' is misplaced, when the performers are usually getting shafted by the whiney (and worse) agents and labels et cetera who are the real sourpusses.

bands like, let me think, well radiohead, green day and smashing pumpkins have always said that their music should be shared as widely as possible, i mean all live/demo recordings and stuff, but i always see a trail of sad faces on the internet where some fucking promo company has forced some guy to take down his live music site and threatened him with court action. i am most pissed off about dailysp.diaryland.com which provided one live pumpkins track per day for nearly two years, for free download. they were shut down by some shitty danish promo company, who threatened court action.

i don't believe the band would approve since they already split up, and before they did they released an entire five disk set independently of their record label, instructing the world to bootleg it, since it wasn't going to be distributed any other way. the press release actually said the lp was 'a final fuck you' to their label. many artists are just as open about their material as the open source community is, but they find themselves having to enter into exclusive agreements just to be heard in the first place. and that's what you should be angry about.

Note 1: Most bands make more money out of Video Clip contracts (MTV, all that crap), Gigs, and other crap then they do from CD's.

Note 2: ITS THE RECORD COMPANYS THAT ARE BITCHING

Note 3: Mettelica are not a band, they are sellouts, so they are no included.
