So Microsoft is colluding with General Electric (via NBC-Universal) to break television and to move us 30 years into the past. That’s right. Microsoft conspired to remove the ability to record television shows. Why? They probably got paid off. I suspect this is part of the .
Should anyone really be surprised that this happened? Of course not! Microsoft shoved their ironically named, “Play for Sure” digital restrictions management scheme overboard and screwed all the those dumb enough to exchange money for something they don’t control. (This goes for both the end users and the device “partners.”)
So just in case any of you still don’t understand how things like this work. You are not a customer. You are a commodity. You don’t even have a seat at the table. Microsoft, GE, none of the megacorps care about you. You’re a resource to be exploited, and are bought and sold like a jailhouse bitch.
