Oh its that classic ploy of for your security and 'protection' lol... your hardware does not require anonymity

oh I can only wonder where all this drive for 'identification' goes

[th4t1guy]

It goes to the cloud!

koogle you idiot lol....you need to learn to read instead of assume that every company is out to get you. This would save a lot of companies a boatload of money from helping hacked customers and save a lot of people a boatload of hassle when they get hacked.

I hope you grow up soon and look back on these posts and laugh at how stupid you were back in the day.

Genoism your short sighted muppet of course I see what is going on and how they are trying to add nice sounding consumer and business benefits to the technology, however it can just as easily be abused in other ways, heck its practically identifiable DRM slipped into the CPU. I think you need to take off your rose colored glasses and see the intel covered shit coming in.

"This would save a lot of companies a boatload of money "

that is big assumption in itself, it can just as easily cost them a boatload of money in lost sales and pissed off customers when it gets fucked up! Heck valve has huge fucking profits, they need to cut customer support.. lol idiots like you are part of the problem in shallow short sighted self centered ignorance.

likewise

p.s grow up yourself there is nothing good in the mentality of what this crap is ultimately designed for.

you know by your logic everything can be made 'evil'. See a car, its evil, because of the purpose it can have. I can use it to get to work or I can use it to run you over.

I can use a knife to cut my food or I can use it to cut you.

I can use the CPU to protect the accounts of my users or I can use it to steal their info.

Everything comes down to how you use it. Don't assume something is created for the ultimate purpose of abusing someone else. If intel decides to use this to steals people information people will find out, hackers will create something to avoid it. It's very simple.

.. the passive aggressive psycho attitude at making those twisted examples is stupid.

"Don't assume something is created for the ultimate purpose of abusing someone else. "

No the purpose is money, power and control, moron. And a car that I have total control over is mine do as I want with responsibly, carelessly, or not even me ...is not the same as a car design with electronics to pass over control to someone else to disable/track or do as they want..its a totally different beast. That gullible people are being lead along into supporting out of fear, security, jealousy, stupidity, laziness etc... mainly problems created by the same mentality of people who want to present and have others accept these deceptive solutions.

if there was no money, power and control we would live in one hellish world. Its because of money, power and control that we can keep people from being the worst they can.
