I keep seeing threads pop up here saying shit about intel security vulnerabilities. What a lot of people don't get is most of those security "flaws" are actually just backdoors so certain entities can see what you're doing. Eventually, someone finds out about the "flaw" and intel spins it as a "mistake".
There's no way a company like intel would take so many PR hits just to save a few bucks on patching exploits. This shit glows.
