In describing the new Intel Sandy Bridge chips, Ashlee Vance of the NYT writes:  "Other features in the new Intel chips are aimed at helping movie studios deliver high-definition versions of their films and to move video streams between computers and TV screens."

Sadly, Vance uses Hollywood's standard talking points to obliquely refer to the new Sandy Bridge onboard DRM technologies.  His  choice of words here was a gross misrepresentation of these "features" and glosses over some of the products' more controversial aspects.
