Jim Louderback's "Hard-On" the PMC

The first review from Jim Louderback on the PMC was titled "Another Dumb Idea from Microsoft", but now he's taken that back and called the Portable Media Center
"dirty". Why you might ask?

Adult video fans will be the biggest customers, snagging titillating videos to watch while riding or sitting in
public spaces. The PMC is a weapon designed for two tasks: To mortally wound the film and video industry—as MP3 has
done for the music business—and to make adult videos socially acceptable by creating an army of viewers brazenly
watching dirty videos in public.

And it gets better:

I was wrong when I called the PMC "dumb." It's smart idea—smarter than I ever could have imagined, actually.
You've got to think big to create something capable of simultaneously killing off one of America's best loved
industries, while at the same time making pornography socially acceptable.

This might just be the best Microsoft-related conspiracy theory ever! The whole time Bill Gates has just been trying to make porn socially acceptable, because obviously that's where the real money is at.

We'll have our review of the Portable Media Center in the next week. So far we've managed not put porn on it or kill off Hollywood, unless you get off on home videos of robots running around; not that there's anything wrong with that.
