Security issues for "wifi - on the chip"

What are peoples thoughts on the security issues raised by “wifi on the chip”.
- http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/09/intel-researchers-put-wifi-inside-the-processor-that-is

Eg at the moment I know the only way to get “access” to my desktop pc is via the Ethernet cable, and or the usb/ps2 ports etc.

With developments like this where there is wifi on the chip itself who’s to say I can still protect “all vector points”

Any thoughts?

Stephen Conroy doesnt "own" the internet

Lol can someone let Stephen Conroy know Australia doesnt own the internet.

Last time i checked Twitter inc was a USA based company and as such only needed to follow the laws of the USA.

As appalled as he is (hows the great firewall of Australia going stevie?) can you imagine if Saudi Arabia decided tomorrow that all Australian companies needed to follow the rules and laws of its country?

Talk about "acting above the law stevie".

What a moron, why is no one in the press telling him he's an idiot and laughing at him?

Bezos scum

And this folks is why Amazon sold out its customers in the recent issues around collecting sales tax.


They knew they were planning on setting up distribution points throughout the country so lets screw up the non representation sales tax issues and screw up the market for other online marketing firms before we make the change.

Wa Wa Nee

Just picked up a second hand copy of Wa Wa Nee from Amazon

Blu Ray promised fail to deliver?

Has anyone read the review of various Blu Ray players out there in the market on Amazon etc. Seems like not a single vendor is seen as a winner and reliable?


Reviews are littered with the dead souls of hope, broken promises and frustration.

You know i cant remember DVD being such a big an issue after this many years of release.

Why do you think there are so many upset Blu Ray users? Are you happy?
