[clue] Cory Doctorow - war on general computing [talk]

[David L. Willson]

As a fellow fast talker, I found Cory's talking slowly to allow for simultaneous translation... hard to take. But, I thoroughly enjoyed the written transcript.

Cory D. has an interesting keynote making the rounds on you tube, if you have a couple extra cycles, I suggest a listen. Mileage may vary, depending on your feelings on Cory, but I tend to think he's right more often then he's wrong. He's essentially arguing that because you can't build a PC that will do only lawful things, that will inevitably (and are already seeing) A rise in what amounts to appliances and computers with spyware pre-installed.
