Internally Intel's chips break down x86 CISC instructions to RISC micro-operations. So essentially x86 is now RISC.

pass the 'Micro$oft borg' :) I don't proclaim to be a security expert, but MS, google, etc did the right thing to revoke the certs.its still reactive not proactive. I vote if it takes an OS update to mandate secure and trusted communication, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. haven't been to iran in a while, but do they have even have a mac store? or get OS updates? something is awry

i agree that its an exploitation of weak vulnerability. comodo may have done it to make a point, but what are the chances that others have doing this for a long while?
