"Taking a page out of Lexmark playbook, the Keurig company, famous for it's one-cup coffee making system, now comes with new and improved 100% DRM. Apparently, Keurig is upset over re-usable third-party 'coffee pods' which allow the consumer to escape the Keurig throw-away models which carry a retail price 5% to 25% more. Keurig's CEO, Brian Kelly referred to the move as 'game-changing performance.' Perhaps this will finally be the year of Linux on the Coffe Maker?"

    Indeed, I'll stick with my Bunn that Ralph left Linda when he died that Linda left me when she died. When it craps out I'll buy a new one, they come with a lifetime warrantee and make great coffee. And the only waste is the coffee can and filter.

    And it works with any brand of coffee.
