Excuse me people.
How do you know it’s a hoax.

Do you just WANT it to be a hoax so you don’t have to face the truth of the police state popping up all around you ?

Yes it’s a hoax, but it could happen. If you’re concerned about it, open the case and check your laptop (careful not to damage anything).

The so-called “trusted computing” scheme would accomplish the same thing, but much, much worse.

Crap. I didn’t know it was a hoax when I emailed Jon the story.
Well I’d rather have this be a hoax and embarass myself than it being reality.
