    So, it's targeted at businesses to reduce support costs and improve fault resolution times but the people with the most valuable data tend to be those using laptops for business. Since most laptops have VPN access to the core network of an organisation, how is Intel going to guarantee the laptop can't be wirelessly hacked at the chip level without the user knowing ?

    It's a great idea, but to quote Chandler from Friends, "Can, open, worms, everywhere"

    I'm sure the 'tech support' guys would have been quicker if they hadn't stopped to balance on hand rails etc.

    And that woman was really rude on the phone!

    Irony that she was 'working' on some Intel driver installer/uninstaller at the time?

    Yeah, yeah, I know it was a demo, but still...

    Yep, the probelm is that the tech support decided to run and and jump over things BEFORE fixing the pc, otherwise they would have got there in time.

    Clearly their routing tables were sub-standard.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    What amazes me is that everyone bangs on about how cool those free runners were... completely forgetting that the camera man had to do all that too but also whilst holding a camera in one hand AND keeping everyone in shot...

    The editor also put the whole piece together whilst doing a handstand. It was the only way to ensure the correct "feel".
