Re: Post : INTEL’S SECURITY FLAW IS NO FLAW

oh boy! 4chan… I guess they have gone downhill a bit since Moot sold it off to some venture capitalist and retired to the south pacific. :)

Actually, in all seriousness, some of the more interesting news items that the main stream media refuses to deal with have shown up there from time to time. This story of the Memory cache flaw is no exception.

Still, with all the "conspiracy theories" coating around, who knows really what the truth is. Basically, it is up to us to sift through it all these days (the news media isn't going to do it anymore).
