I found Martha Mendoza's article repeated a lot of Intel hype without quotations. I sent a long email to AP explaining my objections.

Take this quote:
But images, video and sound can be downloaded off the Internet onto a Pentium III computer in seconds.

NOT EVEN TRUE USING A CABLE MODEM!

""Intel managers and product designers at the event tried to downplay concerns raised by computer privacy advocates about the
new processor serial number, or PSN. This feature allows the Pentium III chip to transmit a unique serial number to Web sites
that request it to help verify a user's identity""


It seems that everyone wants a piece of an individual's identity...send them a cookie and tell them to ....
