HIA - Re: " Intel's new chip broadcasts a serial number to the web...and therefor acts like a "hardware cookie"? Who's going to buy something like that? "

Anybody AS STUPID AS YOU to believe this nonsense would be a good candidate to buy the "new chip".

Look, CLOWN - the new chip contains a unique serial ID and a random number generator - and BROADCASTS NOTHING !

The ID and random number generator are available to be used by software programs which can use them for data security purposes.

A user has the option to "turn off" these features.

YOUR IDIOTIC mis-understanding of what Intel's new CPU does just reconfirms that there are some pretty dumb whackos out there.
