          Well, you do have to give them credit. That first AMT exploit was ignored for 10 years, that's one up on even Lenovo. In a category you really don't want to play one upsmanship in.

                Ya and people criticized Shuttleworth for saying we need open firmware.

                  This showed up in my daily CERT email alerts at 12:11am today. Incredible.

                    What ever happened to the open networking gear firmware projects? Are they a failure to launch out of the gate because possibly without close ties between hardware and software, you can't get the performance that those who control the whole thing can?

                      What's interesting is that this was the primary topic of Security Now last week on May 2. I'm only listening to it now though.
