Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox

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 elseWe have enough youth - What we need is a fountain of smart!

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

my question is... why would the keylogger be spliced directly to the "integrated ethernet board"?"And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make? They finally put a god damned shell back in." -jwz

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 outOriginally posted by DGhostmy question is... why would the keylogger be spliced directly to the "integrated ethernet board"?

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".Yeah, well I'm gonna build my own lunar space lander! With blackjack aaaaannd Hookers! Actually, forget the space lander, and the blackjack. Ahhhh forget the whole thing!

The hoax is pretty simple.
All pictures and even most text is taken from www.dansdata.com (a rather nice australian, btw).
