Well the guy sounds genuine to me. CBC isn't one to give airtime to cranks, although I've heard some cranks a couple of times in the last 30 years of listening to that program. I doubt this is a sendup. If you actually listen to what Mr. Russinovich is saying, it makes some technical sense. And who says computer geeks need to sound professional? I hang out with them all day long and he sounds just like them. So I don't doubt his techical credentials. As for whether it is a campaign to smear The Great, The One and Only, The Marvelous Sony, I doubt it too. If you don't believe me, go out and buy a music disk, install it on your friends PC and start searching. I wouldn't put it past a large corp. like Sony for one second to start snooping on their customers. They certainly have the opportunity - selling gazillions of CDs to unwary customers, for instance. And as for your (all of you out there) comments about Windows versus Mac versus Linux, etc. it wasn't my intention to restart this tiresome wankfest between the different camps. You like your MACs? PCs? Linux boxes? Who gives a shit anyway! Go sell it to your family members or someone else who actually listens to you. -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jon Kamm Sent: Friday, November 11, 2005 2:29 AM To: yello@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Yello] DRM on Commercial Music CDs I listen to a lot of computer talk shows on the radio and this one just sounds fake. Sorta like the fake talk show info-mercials. I am not saying that it's not true about the Sony CDs or others putting something on your computer. But this interview was weird. The guy gave his credentials as Windows-wiz or Computer Genius not very professional. Maybe this was just done to hurt Sony. Who knows. I sure miss my windeers machine. Interesting post thanks. _______________________________________________ Yello mailing list Yello@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yello Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com
