Transcript of CSIS Conference is up.

Here's a snippet:
MR. WEBSTER: I did a little math exercise the other day. Let's just talk about the
embedded systems problem. Gartner Group says there's four billion embedded
systems out in the world. I don't think anyone knows, but that's what the Gartner
Group says.

Let's say that by sheer brilliance and inspection we can set aside three-fourths of
those so we know there's only a billion embedded systems we need to worry about.
That means that in order to test just half of those between now and the end of
next year, we have to test 800,000 each and every day, weekends and holidays
included.

Who is doing that? Where is that work being done?
