Privacy groups that had launched a boycott of Intel products just four hours before the company's announcement today said they were ''delighted that Intel has taken one small step toward respecting people's privacy.'' But they said Intel's software concession still was inadequate. ''You still have the problem of an ID number, and Web sites can force people to disclose that ID number as a condition to get into the sites,'' complained David Banisar of the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center. ''Just having a software patch does not resolve the underlying concerns.'' ---------------------- Surely these privacy advocates must already know that there are plenty of web sites that already ask you to identify yourself before access is allowed. Are they going to ask for a boycott on these sites too? Like Schwab, Amazon.com, EBay and many others? I don't think so. Methinks their agenda is a bit one-sided - but I'm not at all surprised.
