re:Domino » Society http://www.dagerot.com Joachim Dagerot on development and consulting Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:16:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 en Apple builds in DRM hardware - Is this the end for Apple? http://www.dagerot.com/2008/11/19/apple-builds-in-drm-hardware-is-this-the-end-for-apple/ http://www.dagerot.com/2008/11/19/apple-builds-in-drm-hardware-is-this-the-end-for-apple/#comments Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:37:14 +0000 Joachim Dagerot http://www.dagerot.com/?p=344 Apple is building in some copy-protection hardware making it impossible to play DRM content wherever you want even if you buy it. It’s the same thing as with Itunes shop: If I buy a song there it will cost me a dollar or so and the only thing I get is the possibility to NOT play it wherever I want. If I copy it from a file-share server instead I will pay nothing and be able to play the song wherever I want.

How can that help out the record industry?

Now Apple is adding some hardware in their machines so that we can’t play bought content wherever we want. This is a whole lot of crap and upsets me a lot.

We have strong indicators that http://www.dagerot.com is written by a man (91%).

Modern and trendy as I am I spoted him at spotify.com directly. He’s a blues/R&B/creole/you-name-it artist with an enormous production. This album is really nice for example.

And yes, this post was mainly to see if anyone of my readers (hi mom!) uses spotify.com (no mom, I know you don’t).

One of the directors there started yelling on his assistant/secretary that she had the extremely unintelligent taste to rebook his booking to an F seat. She said that she controlled with the flight company that the F seat was a window seat and the confirmed. His anger came out that if the plane breaks down and the get another model he couldn’t be sure that F was at the window anymore, but an A seat is always at the window.

Some guys just don’t have enough thrillment in their life… For the rest of us we can check out which airplane has the best seats, or actually what seats to avoid on different airplanes on www.seatguru.com.

All according to Bloomberg!
