Doesn't this thing use Intel's AMT processor and NIC? Intel's probably protected their source code access processes with more than $100k against any researcher, same with Google, but as we've just seen NSA already FISA'd / moled both their source. So what's the difference? Or the point? If Google wants to pull a stunt, it should open it's own code and start paying out along that new bug discovery asymptote. Regardless of whether you sell software / hardware or not... "We're closed, and awesome" really doesn't cut it anymore when the bad guys have the source everyone else thought was closed. .
