    Is Dell selling computers with keyboard loggers installed?


    Fake.

      just the fact that they call the PIC16F876 a programmable interrupt Controller makes it fake.. it is a microcontroller and no engineering person I know would have ever called it anything else

        Yeah, although I think the name PIC derives from that. Also, the board looks definitely hand-soldered.

          Although browsing around that site does lead you to this rather fantastic picture:

              my question is... why would the keylogger be spliced directly to the "integrated ethernet board"?

                so it can pass on the keystrokes through the internet I suppose.. If dell really wanted to do this, chances are it would be build onto the motherboard so nobody would ever figure it out

                  Being someone who finds just standing on a ladder unpleasant, I find that picture highly offensive.

                    Having seen lots of Wile E Coyote cartoons, I would go and snatch her off that thing before she fell to her doom..

                      Everything reminds you of snatch.

                        Well, it's hard to tell at a distance, but hers does look snatchable.

                        Ah, the guilty ulterior motives of heroism.

                          From Wikipedia

                          Microchip Technology does not use PIC as an acronym; in fact the brand name is PICmicro. It is generally regarded that PIC stands for Peripheral Interface Controller, although General Instruments' original acronym for the PIC1650 was "Programmable Intelligent Computer".

                            The hoax is pretty simple.

                              Nah, I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
