i wouldnt worry about hardware keyloggers.. id be more worried about 0days and super uber l33t rootkits

 

My sister saw a video of some conference in Japan where some guy's Dell laptop exploded. Freak accident.

 

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

 

What she witnessed was not an explosion. The portal to the hell where Michael Dell hacks the world opened for a split second. It is a bug that should be fixed in within the next two revisions.

 

Bueller??

 

I can't beleive I fell for it!

I showed it to a coworker who knows about hardware and schematics and he tore it apart.



Boy I feel dumb.

 

One of the best movies ever. The navy uses Dell's and its a toss up of which one is worse, the Dells at work or the Emachines at home.

 

Oh NoEs!!!! I just placed a $81K PO with Dell on Monday!!!

Funny I happen to have a 600M cracked open sitting on my desk and there is no such component there.

Also dell wouldn't be using an archaic 2 sided copper clad board and massive components, and if they really wanted to be sneaky they'd be bright enough to use an ASIC, FPGA or some other components so that noone would be the wiser.

 

haha, thank god i have a Hewlett Packard

 

internet hoax, ignore the post.

 

gg custom built.

 

Depends for what. For large scale corporate, I'll stick with dell thx. Techs are out within 4 hours if somethign goes wrong with our clusters, and it's SOOOO much easier to maintain desktops when they are all the same.

For home how custom are you talking.
