About the pic...

The site http://defectivebydesign.org speaks out about DRM.

What is DRM?
http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm (long read)

Nutshell:
Big Media describe DRM as Digital Rights Management. However, since its purpose is to restrict you the user, it is more accurate to describe DRM as Digital Restrictions Management. DRM Technology can restricts users’ access to movies, music, literature and software, indeed all forms of digital data. Unfree software implementing DRM technology is simply a prison in which users can be put to deprive them of the rights that the law would otherwise allow them.

Big Media hope that DRM will deliver to them what their political lobbying to change copyright law never has: they aim to turn our every interaction with a published work into a transaction, abolishing fair use and the commons, and making copyright effectively last forever. They will say that you accepted DRM and willingly surrendered your rights. That you did so under duress, they will call irrelevant.

I'm not claiming Microsoft doesn't use DRM technology, however, I thought it was funny that this organization was protesting the launch of the iPAD based upon Apple's embracing of DRM technology in this product.

Cello on or off?
American v. Japanese?
CC v. NC?
Aged v. Fresh?
Day v. Night?
Luxury v. Sports Car?
Hamburger v. Filet Mignon?
Cigarettes v. Cigars?

oh yeah, and Mac v. PC?

There will always be opinions. That is why there are options. Those on one side will piss at those on the other.
Note in that photo he is alone and note the contrast to the line to get into the Apple event.

Word on the street is Apple will announce a tablet running OS X , presumably the new mac pro, at the June event.

Should have just done that in the first place.

Rumor is more than just on the street.
