‘Trusted Computing’ never was, it was never about trust or about enabling computer use. I’m so happy that Apple has ditched this stupid anti-user measure and it putting users before media imposed restrictions.

Now lets see more iTunes freedoms, OK.

Now, Singh reports that Apple has dropped the TPM from its motherboard designs, with the new MacPros. Singh had created a free software driver for the TPM under OS X that allowed users to exploit its privacy features.

This is good news for Mac owners, on balance. Of course, the best outcome would be for Apple to leave in the TPM, but to also publicly promise to eschew all anti-user features in its drivers, so that Singh’s users could continue to enjoy privacy benefits without concern over the potential dangers of the TPM.
