Here is a summary of the objections to the latest Intel fiasco bigbrotherinside.com :-) Well, hell! Right here is how Intel can turn this liability into a great marketing campaign! According to Intel VP Patrick Gelsinger, the PSN will be used to identify users for accessing Internet web sites or chat rooms. He told the RSA conference, "unless you're able to deliver the processor serial number, you're not able to enter that protected chat room." Change "protected chat room" to "chat room in which our children will be protected from predators." At least it always seems to work for the Democrats. :-)

Paul F, don't tell me you are still short Intel! :-) Are you a glutten for punishment or what?? It's funny how we hardly see you shorts until some potential negative press report pops up. My opinion, John Hull is right. Once the public gets over the fact that privacy is really a thing of the past. (As if we ever truly had it). The benefits of more secure e-commerce will far outweigh the negatives. E-Commerce is going to be bigger than anyone dared to dream. We are moving into a worldwide information economy like never before experienced. Imagine when the rest of the world nears the 50% penetration rate in home PC's? The potential ramifications are astounding! The other day I got to thinking...What kind of an effect will it have on the U.S. stock market when foreigners can easily open an account on e-trade and buy into the U.S. stock market? Do we have limits on direct foreign investments? We could be looking at higher multiples for some years to come if the barriers to entry are small. Hi everyone! Been here quietly reading. Not much to say when your favorite stock is cruising along. :-) Michael
