Definately Safe For Work - Grainy Zune Pics at Gizmodo - Clues at the DRM Strategery

Gizmodo's got grainy Zune pics.

But keep reading for the really "fun" peek at the Zune mindset.

The pics are in black and white.

Why black and white?

Oh yes, I quote …

The reason the shot is in black and white is because Microsoft assigned a unique color scheme to every Zune prototype in existence right now—all 150 of them—so any leaks could be traced to the employee who leaked it. We don't want to be jerks and get anybody fired.

So, a protection scheme that can be circumvented with a freeware photo editing program … Can't wait to see the DRM process.
