Intel Builds Sandy Bridge With a DRM Tollbooth http://bit.ly/dIty13 (Google Buzz)
- - - http://bit.ly/gguijO (Tech News World) Also now confirmed is that the new architecture includes "features" such as integral display adapters and memory controllers, etc., and even apparently built-in "self-destruct" timers for content. These of course are only the details we're being told about. My guess is that Intel will attempt to also position this tech with promises of other sorts of file and document "security" as well. Could there also be undisclosed goodies addressing government surveillance concerns, buried in the silicon? Silly to even fantasize along those lines of course, right? --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]) http://www.vortex.com/lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 Co-Founder, PFIR (People For Internet Responsibility): http://www.pfir.org Founder, NNSquad (Network Neutrality Squad): http://www.nnsquad.org Founder, GCTIP (Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance): http://www.gctip.org Founder, PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member, ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Google Buzz: http://bit.ly/lauren-buzz _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
