Intel bows to privacy concerns

Article Abstract:

Intel Corp of Santa Clara, CA, has changed a feature in its planned Pentium III processor after protests from privacy groups Electronic Privacy Information Center of Washington, and Junkbuster Center Inc of Green Brook, NJ. The company initially planned to incorporate automatic identifying signatures into P III chips which would have allowed transmission of serial codes numbers on all applications run and Internet sites visited by the user. Intel said that it will redesign the chip so it will not automatically transmit the signature unless activated first by the user.
