...because if all the tin-foil hats that this story will draw were in one physical place, it would draw a lightning strike so huge that it would wipe everyone out in one fell swoop.

I leave it as an exercise to the reader as to what percentage of Slashdot readership would be left.

What if AMD starts putting in DRM too?

I guess we'll have to move over to the Mac...

anyone noticed that there's a "personal information agent" mentioned that is called "My Man"???

shouldn't that be "The Man"?
or "Bill's The Man"?

or maybe even "All your privacy are belong to us Man"?

From what I hear (father of someone I know is a big guy at AMD), many folks there are edgy about supporting it, but they're in it because they don't want to "miss the boat."
Which boat? The Titanic or the Lusitania?
