Oh , I desire whatever White House came up with this idea make a huge fillip . Blockbuster is fly a new program that will load a DRM’d movie rentals onto an SD card from a kiosk . The future !
So say you ’re at the airport . You want to lease , I dunno , some movie that was n’t salutary enough to see in the house . You just format a spare SD carte du jour filled with vacation photos you ’d forgotten to back up ( it does n’t appear they give you a bill of fare , but I could be mistaken ) , down it in the machine , select a pic , make up $ 4 or so , and then have the celluloid loaded on your card , a la ticking time bomb calorimeter , with DRM .
And what ca n’t you do with an SD card ? I have in mind , it plays in my iPhone … waiting … I mean my Blackberry … wait …
Mini SD and Micro SD — those are the cards that most of our mobile devices will take ( if they take any at all ) ! In display case no one tell you , Blockbuster , we ca n’t wreak this shucks back on our digital camera .
( Granted , netbook owners and some laptop computer owner will be able to apply the standard . )
Ah Blockbuster , you ’ve arrive just in time to brush off the growing popularity of iTunes / Zune Marketplace syncing , 3 thou streaming and in - flight of stairs Wi - Fi all while offer your service on a medium less convenient than DVD . But do n’t occupy , I ’m not angry . You ’re just ache yourself . [ Fast Company ]
