Absolutely, and we have to stop reacting with words like "fix" "flaw" and "problematic". This was a serious privacy intrusion on a massive scale. Whether it was some guy up to late on a bad schedule set by his boss Dilbert really doesn't matter. HP published the stuff, Connexant wrote it, they should pay some kind of price.

No, apple gave education a 30% discount (better in some cases) on hardware. They didn't suggest curriculum or standards, nobody came out to your school to say this kid needs such and so, it was just a huge no strings attached gift of hardware.

For those who don't see the (it's freedom) parallel they also were okey dokey when the BATF was keeping background check information on gun buyers in the 80's.

These are not the everyday cop on the street but the (often appointed) top of the command chain. This particular velvet glove on the iron hand is beginning to chafe a bit.
