Default Google working out how to kill Intel's ME

Wants to close a security hole

Google has said that it is looking at ways to shut down Intel's Management Engine (ME) technology.

For those who came in late ME is built into almost all modern Intel CPUs and is based on the Unix MINIX. It is closed source firmware that runs on a dedicated microprocessor and can bugger around with your system even when the power is off.

At the Embedded Linux Conference, a Google engineer named Ronald Minnich outted the operating system but added that Google wants to work out a way to shut it down.
