Geeeez. I sure didn't see this coming.
On Monday, technology executives, including Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, Dell Computer's Michael Dell and Intel's Craig Barrett, said in an open letter to entertainment industry executives that they were not about to create technology that limits computer users ability to copy and play digital media.
The letter was in response a missive from executives from Disney, News Corporation and others, urging curbs on technology that lets users freely copy digital movies, music and other content.
Well, fark. There goes that whole argument.
But as a development for the technology world in general, this is a red-letter day. Hip-hip-huzzah!
