I can't imagine Apple building 4K machines which will not handle vidity. In that case they are limited to whoever can provide Crypto Management hardware. who said anything about building 4k machines? They already do. See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202856 this is about apple transitioning to arm processors for some macs, something that is inevitable given the clues that are already out there. in the unlikely event the above becomes an issue, then apple will likely skip 4k for affected systems. apple skipped bluray because of the bull**** it involved. other companies might follow suit. the movie industry needs to stop treating people like criminals. keep in mind that that the iphone 6s/6s+ supports 4k. If Vidity becomes a power in the land then Apple will have to incorporate Crypto Manager or be left out. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Note that iOS has high source code commonality with OS X (kernel to just below the UI) low end macs will probably move to arm fairly soon to gain significant battery life improvements as well as reduce components cost. high end macs will likely remain intel for the foreseeable future. I suspect that SCSA (The Secure Content Storage Association), trading as Vidity will have a major impact on who does what with which in the near future. how would that affect apple transitioning to another cpu platform? I believe it will require a secure chipset. We shall have to wait and see. Apple can implement such independently of CPU choice. If you look at how they implemented functions such as Secure Enclave and Apple's various encryption schemes found in Messages, etc., implementing Vidity is pretty ho-hum ordinary for them. I don't know that they have any experience dealing with Differential Power Analysis attacks. I think that's part of it. I assume first that if Apple employ the technology they will do so legally - that is to say with appropriate license and NDA's and all the other nice stuff. As to implementation, if Apple don't have the guys or gals who can do it (and they likely do - in spades) they can buy the guys, gals or co. that can do it well within the rounding errors of their payroll statement in the quarterly report. And Rambus, the patentee, will help them. One way or another they will have to do it if they are not to be left out. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

It's not like anybody thought you wrote something NINE levels deep just because "savageduck wrote:" above. It is blatantly obvious that the first level of attribution relates to the first level of quotes. And I really hope that your method of finding out who wrote what isn't to count the level of the attribution and compare it to the quote level for each paragraph. -- Sandman |
