Jim,
re:so "whomever" can follow you around the web...NOT!

Not so, not so at all ... From Paul Engel's post #71736 where he posted the Intel press release:

(This quote was attributed to Pat Gelsinger, VP of Intel's Business Products Division)

On privacy, he said Intel will build into its chips the ability for individuals to control whether to hide their identity online. Intel also will make people aware of the kind of data being collected about them.

This means that the user can turn off the feature, if they should desire. Those who are parnoid about privacy issues can turn it off, while suffering the loss of H/W based security.

Not only that, but the user will be afforded more information than is currently available about what data is being collected on them (should they utilize the feature).

This is not a privacy conspiracy. This is a great H/W security solution to enhance ecommerce, IMO.

Greg.
