Now a record company has released it's catalogue in a non-DRM format. For years, people have harked on about how they object paying for DRM'd files, and that the main objection is the restriction of personal rights. I'm no shill for the RIAA, but I think people would be wise to avoid putting paid-for DRM-less files on any P2P network. You can spin whatever spook story you want, but try to at least do it with real facts and not just sensational Slashdot headlines.Īnyone who puts a file with their id embedded in it onto a bittorrent site deserves eveything that they get. Vista can use the TPM chip though for bitlocker encryption. Apple did initially ship them, but didn't do anything with them. Since Apple could start with a clean slate, why not adopt the modern firmware for a mainboard over something filled with 20 years of legacy Apple didn't need? You can spin EFI in a bad light all you want, but really it's more of a new replacement for something old, just as PCI replaced ISA.Īlso, the Macs currently shipping lack the TPM chip needed to implement Trusted Computing.

( a powerful firmware level intended for DRM schemes sitting between OS/software and hardware, that has it's own partition on the drive, can access the internet and download, do just about anything without a OS, without your knowledge for most people)įirst off, EFI is a replacement for an ancient BIOS that most x86/圆4 machines still slug along with.
