I was planning on live blogging Cory's presentation "All Complex Ecosystems Have Parasites" this morning but he just said that he's reading a prewritten speech so that he can post it online right after giving it so blogging it seems a bit redundant. So, rather than try to transcribe something that's going to be up word for word in a few minutes, I'm I'm going to post the IRC #etech logs (after the jump) so people can see the backchannel instead.

The link to the text for his speech is here, BoingBoing post here, keep reading for IRC backchannel logs.

[knauer_] - the batteries for the engines on hybrids are different from the battery used to power plugs, lights, etc... at least in my honda hybrid
[holgate_] - Open API stuff is another kind of Trusted Computing, but it's a trust in non-lockdown.

[seanbonner_] - He's done, anyone have any final comments before I post this?
[TrevorFSmith] - Since trusted computing will be so completely unusable, shouldn't we just make certain that untrusted computing is available and let the market sort it out?
[UCSDBigD] - did he call us all frogs?
[lobo_] - croak?
[danyelf] - Ribbit.
[NelsonMinar] - the problem is trusted computing will dominate the market
[NelsonMinar] - partly because of the trusted computing market power
[cybaea] - Good speech
[NelsonMinar] - partly because people want to watch DVDs on their computers.
[jbond] - So where is Apple in all this?
[plasticb1g>
[cal> flickr bug all fixed
[NelsonMinar] - and in a few years, the only way to watch DVDs may well be trusted
