Re: Lightroom: image workflow comes of age

Yes, you can hack out the TPM kernel and patch utilities that call it. Endlessly. It's just not an option if you want a nice OS that you can keep up to date. Every time somebody hacks it to work, Apple releases a software update, which just so happens to break the TPM hack. Nobody will ever win per se. But it does mean that if you want to use software update rather than downloading enless hacker image files and patches using bittorrent, you need an Apple machine at present. So in that sense, Apple have won in that hacking it for a beige box is only viable for a techie that doesn't care about keeping their software current.

Trusted computing is bad. So bad we'll probably all be forced to use it to access a public network in all Wassenaar signatory counties one day. Meanwhile, if you want to watch the TPM in action, you can use this:

The Lifebook is super sexy (apart from the shitty video) until you see that it costs $5000.
