Re:Driver open, firmware closed - nothing new (Score 1)

You always have to trust the firmware. Nothing new with TCPA here. What about firmware in disk drives, video cards, network cards, scsi host adapters ...? Did you read the code? The TCPA-Chips ist not in a better position than the other controllers inside you computer. Parts of your VGA BIOS are executed while booting your computer. The code can do anything. Please remove your graphic card before thinking about privacy issues in TCPA-Hardware. muhh
