Yes, definitely, that's the kind of thing I'm thinking about, especially #2. Whereas a lot of exploits are happening with updateable software, it's rare that hardware gets hit so hard. This stuff hit on a deeper level.

I hope I don't offend anyone too badly here with this medical analogy, but it's like finding out you have a bad flu vs. finding out you have Parkinson's.

Or, it's like seeing someone in a different light for the first time... maybe you've known them for decades, but all of the sudden, you see them in this completely different way.
