Apparently, Celine Dion's new CD will not only not play on peecees or Macs, but it will tend to
crash the computer if you try.
Good thing I have absolutely no interest in purchasing this album.

An interesting fact on this as well, the local copies here in Colorado have no sign of a CD Audio logo on the outside. No copy protection either, but Sony might be using that logo less now, after Phillips started cracking down.

What would be REALLY cool is if Phillips said "you can't call it a CD with that copy protection and you can't make it too much like a CD because we own the patent."

The typical Celine listener probably uses a computer to chat and email on AOL. Now, picture that person at Barnes & Noble buying 2600 to learn how to rip their new CD. What I'm trying to say is, you are forcing normal people to become quasi-Hax0rs so they can enjoy their music. That's a funny thought.

I wonder if anything I would ever even want to buy will be released on one of these stupid things.
I wonder what would happen if you stuck this disk into one of sony's new hdd based head units.
