Yup, #1 vote is to Sony for
a) Rootkit DRM
b) Ultra restrictive planned DRM for Blu-Ray, including watermarked media and the ability to remotely nuke your player (erase the BIOS) if they think you are playing pirated discs.
c) Continueing to RUIN the PSP. That should be an awesome platform for digitial media, but they continue to insist to lock down the platform to force you to spend ANOTHER $20 on a movie you already have.
These guys just don't get it. BUZZ OFF, SONY!
#2 Grinch vote for Steve Jobs, for being a greedy monopolist.
Santa Vote:
#1: Mark Russinovitch of Sysinternals for a) putting out rootkitrevealer as freeware and b) sticking it to Sony.
#2 Google for googlemaps. This is just too cool, and it gives me things like frappr, and the g-map pedometer, so I can figure out my running courses before I leave.
Seeing as it is Christmas time, it would be interesting to see who the BOL Army would vote for as the Tech Grinch of the Year Award.
Myself I vote $ony for the Grinch of the Year Award. But not so much about the rootkit. Just their total unwillingness to "get it" and to ACTUALLY apologise.
My wife thinks it me, because I took spider and solitare off of the computer, but her vote doesn't count . 
Santa: Creative Labs President for that wonderful (w)itch slap on Apple when he said, "Thats the differece between being a Technology Company and a Branding Company"when commenting on their products and Apples. About time someone yanked Steve Jobs chain.
