"Trusted" Computing

[A.I.]

A short animated video, quite informative. Everyone should know. Don't buy Windows Vista, M$ is gonna make your bitch (as well as all other corporations). 1984, here we come.

That entire video confused the hell out of me.

Gah.

I understand the whole bit about trust..but they threw around "Trusted Computing" alot..and I am not quite sure what that is referring to.

It's that trusted computing will erase anonimity in the internet and enable corporations to control the content you have on your computer. DRM or digital rights management is that kind of thing. You don't actually buy a song on iTunes but you just kind of "borrow" it. The iTunes decide on how many devices can a song be played or for how many times before you have to buy it again.
