Intel Quietly Adds DRM to CPUs
The new Pentium D will contain technology that can be used to support DRM.
Intel is denying it, but it sounds like they’re weaseling:
According to Intel VP Donald Whiteside, it is “an incorrect assertion that Intel has designed-in embedded DRM technologies into the Pentium D processor and the Intel 945 Express Chipset family.” Whiteside insists they are simply working with vendors who use DRM to “design their products to be compatible with the Intel platforms.”

Evil inside. What can I say? What more can you expect from a company like Intel?
Once upon a time I have sworn not to give my money to either MS or Intel for a long time to come and until today I have kept my promise. I guess I am going to keep it a little longer.
