I think I was more adventurous in trying new games before I started reading reviews.

Nowadays I look at the reviews before buying any game.

Not meaning to be unhelpful but if it's a new Gateway that's DOA wouldn't it be better to contact Gateway about the problem? It's a Warranty issue.

First off, we need to put this in perspective... It's not a computer virus that can affect humans directly. But rather, he managed to basically copy viral code to be stored on one of these chips. Devices that read the chip's data would then copy over the viral code, too. Thus, if compatible, it would 'infect' the computers that scanned it. If you think about it, this is a great revenge tactic for those that receive a 'chip' like this to pay back their 'benefactors'. I can already picture a terror-list who'd been chipped flashing their chip with viral code to attack as many OS's as possible so that every time s/he was 'scanned' in, it would brick the entire security system.[QUOTE="waxbytes"]

At least someone is considering some of the things that can go wrong with this kind of technology.

And there will still be corporate 'talking head' dudes that will still dismiss these risks until they get hit, either by an outside person who wears a compatible chip to a 'rogue' employee frying their databases for fun and/or profit.

As the old saying goes, many things can be made foolproof but nothing can be made idiot proof.

Apple is still going through puberty, that's why they are playing ball with the court like Microsoft did back then.

Blubadox

Apple and Microsoft are about the same age.

I've used AVG free for several years now and never had a problem.

I don't know if that means AVG is good or I've just been lucky.

It works for me though.

That's a bit of old ps\2 port functionality. I've never seen a USB keyboard power on a PC from coldstart.
