Amigas turn to play catch up - new intel cpu

It's rubbishy DRM-infested crap, the hardware equivalent of Windoze Vista. I'll be giving Intel CPUs a miss from this point onwards.

Presumably you haven't bought a PC any time since the launch of the original Athlon64 then, since all modern cpus have drm available as an option, same too for many graphics cards post 2005....

Whilst the cries of *no drm ever* is a laudable one, it is simply untenable in today's world. Even Android has a certain amount of protection for some things, such as gps for instance, which is locked up tighter than a drum.

Unfortunately, it'll be here past the robot apocalypse, when our titanium raygun overlords will vapourize it all.

The problem is that reality and talent shows are absurdly cheap to make, so its basically free money for the networks.

Yup, that said, there seems to be a slow death for purely reality based shows; Consider that Big Brother here in the UK was cancelled last year. I suspect however talent shows will continue on for a long time in one guise or another, it's just that currently they're fashionable.

Once they get old, then just as with BB they'll get canned for something else that's cheap to produce until the pendulum swings back.
