"I agree this is a bad vulnerability, but I think most would not use a 3rd party card on a MacBook (or most WinBooks for that matter). This sounds a bit sensationalistic to me.."
If you notice, I also made refernece to WinBooks. Not an apologist for Apple. It is my desktop of choice, but I also support Linux, Windows and 1 Solaris box. I have to use the right tools to get the job done. Decisions on platform are secondary here.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. This is about the clarity of the story and associated exploit.
