Great security, or a breach of our privacy?

Well, I can't say the source it true, as i don't know the guy personally. However, this site seems to be talked about more and more around the internet. If the company I work for gets one of these models, I will have a look see.

Anyways, this could be a joke, but hey, you never know. I mean, the url does have "lol" in it.

Anyone with a Dell600m could clear this up real quickly.

Hey I have a question, why was that guy opening his laptop anyway? He coincidently looked between the keyboard and mobo didnt he Well, it's possible, but I dont think its a keylogger. like 60% Bull and 40% possible. Anti theft is the only good reason or maybe its a spy device that reports what the user does the most, so that Dell can "improve" the laptops specifications for special needs.Either way I DONT WANT that crap in my laptop, if my laptop gets jacked im going to karate chop the punk that TRIED

Ok sorry for double post , but, breakthrough here, I believe about 99.98% that little chip ( i assume it's little to fit in there) is to store info like model number, etc, you know SYS INFO. If your thing is broke they get the info from the little chip and they know what's in it. How I got this idea? well, on the Sony Vaio website they have a support section. Interestingly there's a button to "Detect My Model Automatically".

Can't miss the button dead center!

Actually, last week I read some info that basically said it was false. So I guess I could rest easy. Besides, the new dell PC's came in and there was a small device that would have been the "keylogger". I opened the thing and it was just a plastic tube protecting a wire seam.
