Comment This guy isn't an authority on the topic (Score 1) 75

Albert Penello is also quoted as saying this on the topic:

It was an interview done speculatively, and I'm not aware of any active work in this space.

So I wouldn't exactly take his limited view as a yardstick by which to measure how much data they are collecting and for what purposes.

Comment That seems fine (Score 1) 138

There was no expectation in the beginning except to get the problem solved, and that's what happened. Do you want them to hold the vulnerabilities for ransom or something? Maybe in the future some good samaritan will help you out with one of your problems too. Think of all the users you have helped out as well.

Intel Rolls Out Raspberry Pi Competitor 214

Rambo Tribble writes "As detailed by Ars Technica, Intel has introduced the Minnowboard, an SBC touted as more powerful and more open than the Raspberry Pi. At $199, it is also more expensive. Using an Atom processor, the new SBC boasts more capacity and x86-compatibility. 'It's notable that the MinnowBoard is an open hardware platform, a distinction that Arduino and BeagleBone can claim but Raspberry Pi cannot. Users could create their own MinnowBoards by buying the items on the bill of materials—all the design information is published, and CircuitCo chose components that can be purchased individually rather than in the bulk quantities hardware manufacturers are accustomed to, Anders said. Users can also buy a pre-made MinnowBoard and make customizations or create their own accessory boards to expand its capability. And being an open hardware platform means that the source code of (almost) all the software required to run the platform is open.'" Update: 09/20 22:31 GMT by T : Look soon for a video introduction to the MinnowBoard, and — hopefully not too long from now — a visit to their Dallas-area production facility.
