Bet you a dollar some lawyer had to vet that three times over before they published it.


That same lawyer no doubt had to tell them that the following statement wouldn't fly without the addition of the word "believes":

"Intel believes its products are the most secure in the world [ . . . ]"


Nicely done. Words like 'is' incur liability because it can be interpreted as making factual statements that you could be held accountable for. Hurry, get your law degree so you can skin Intel alive ;)


With the obvious class action suit that's coming, I don't know what else better their counsel has to do on a Monday night.


My suspicion is they don't get sued; rather, Werner Vogels calls Intel and tells them the massive haircut / refund they're gonna take. Or Werner buys amd procs.


Bet you another dollar it was more than one lawyer.
