Lab Notes

There's a discussion on Slashdot about Mac OS X-on-Intel's use of TCPA DRM, with the usual Slashdot hyperbole about the end of the world when someone mentions "DRM". We don't yet have one of the Mactel developer machines for me to check this out myself, but based on the information circulating around the net, it looks like Apple is using TCPA to lock Mac OS X to Apple hardware. This is hardly surprising, given that most of Apple's revenue derives from hardware sales.
