Finger your delete key: What caught my eye in Tim's remarks about Apple was his continued use of Macs. Why was that enticing? It has to do with what hard-headed physicists know about hardware that soft-headed coders don't. So my curiosity: does Tim know Intel intel that we don't know, and can't tell it? More generally, do chip physicists know what crypto coders don't, about the covert features of those world-pervasive chips inside? Would Tim tell, could Tim disclose intel, what the world doesn't know about Intel, about what Intel's hard-headed Moore, the immigrant physicist, whispers in utmost secrecy to Microsoft's soft-headed Gates, the American-way coder? Is soft-hearted OS code the front for cold-hearted hardware spying? Maybe the most that Tim can tell without exposing Intel is that Tim uses Macs. Still, is Motorola more trustworthy than Intel, and if so, for whom? What do Apple insiders know that the world needs to know about the deals of Intel insiders, are they working with inside the Beltwayers, gobbling world-markets, gobbling intel chip by chip? Is Motorola doing the same with its adorable cellulars and satellites and boards and hardware galore, using benign code to conceal hardware malice? Dreamy, maybe, but hard-hearted Tellers did it to the Oppenheimers, and everyone knows that physicists truly enjoy playing dice with God. (Hold on, Tim, this is the way I write after thirty years of grinding out grim technical reports.)
