An anonymous registered Apple developer claims that the Apple x86 test boxes do not have DRM or TCPA components. Developers are forbidden from discussing the units by the nondisclosure agreements they've signed with Apple. so they've been unable to counter the rumors.

When you purchase a new Apple "Intel Inside" system, you sign over to Apple the special power of attorney to control your ASS.
The brave new partnership of Intel and Apple is a bold step into the future of the New American Century.
