Do any of you remember when the Pentium III came out with internal serial numbers, and we made Intel remove them. We consumers, normal people, made the mighty Intel bow to our wishes. All we have to do is speak up.
They only removed it because it was pointless. Network cards and hard drives already had internal serial numbers & while it would have been useful to have a serial number on the CPU as well, it really wasn't worth their while trying to explain it to all the idiots who were outraged.
I'm planning on getting a trackable laptop next, in case it gets stolen. As I can already be tracked by my mobile phone, card payments etc I can't see why I'd not take advantage of it.
