- HDCP Sucks: New MacBooks Have HDCP, Gives iTunes Purchases Less Freedom
"Because copyright protection is all about inconveniencing those who actually bought their stuff legally." -- One more reason to buy fewer movies, and where possible to avoid Apple because they are developing a Sony-like love of following rules regardless of what their customers think. - Details of Roller setup at blogs.sun.com
"4 million hits a day with its two SunFire T2000 servers at 97% idle" WOW. - Brandy Alexander, Ron Sexsmith & Feist
I prefer Feist's version - I got the Sexsmith version free from Amazon to compare. - dinosaurs+mice, HPUX+Linux, OOo+google office, aka the Innovator's Dilemma
Completely agree with Luis. People who dismiss Google Docs as inferior to OO.o are at the same time right (within their own frame of reference) and profoundly wrong (once it's clear that's not the point at all). I use both - OO.o v3 is great for authoring and GD tolerably good for collaboration.

I'm relatively certain that the reason why macbooks have HDCP is because that's what nV gave them. Apple tends not to be terribly picky about what the vendor gives them ( hence EFI ). Until Apple starts actively using the technology to screw consumers, I wouldn't get caught up in the chicken-little like anti-apple sentiment
