This is untrue and just plain troll bait.
To wit: I was robbed at knife point by some dude in his 20's, when I was in 6th grade. I was jumped in Chicago by 2 guys; I lived in a house on the south side of chicago for 8 mos - we got robbed 5 times - 4 of those five times we were upstairs asleep.
I'm a white, southern, born, straight male. I work in the construction industry and make art/murals as well. I also own a handgun. I have some economic conservative ideas and some libertarian ideas as well. I own my own house, and my own business. I'm a vegetarian.
I am still liberal.
These silly labels and judgments are counter-productive. This divide and conquer approach is working on us as a people... we really need to get past this ideological bickering of mindless and undefinable labels crap - and get down to business. We have real issues at hand today as voters and we need to press for real soultions - specifically to our legislators - presidents are junk puppets.
Personally I think this article is just junk science... and strives for nothing more than us wasting our time talking and arguing - so as to not pay attention to goals as a society. Expecting us to let"them" take care of it. It's our responsibility, people.
My girlfriend of 3 years is vegan. I don't eat pork or beef... I never really did - but I eat occassional chicken, fish, dairy and egg products (I can't stay away from real chocolate chip cookies!)
From what I've gathered from our discussions she chooses vegan diet for a variety of reasons. Some more belief based and others are more evidence based. And that is an important point to this conversation - as with everything in life - the reasons are many - not just singular.
I think it mostly relates to animal kindness, environmental effects of raising animals for mass consumption (I can't really explain this one because I don't really know details) and health reasons.
Ironically, we will tend to eat scientifically engineered products (boca burgers, THOUSANDS of soy products and various other products) So, I sometimes wonder about the health reasons. But recently we've tended towards more veggies, pastas and grains.
As for replacement meat, I've found that Seitan
http://vegetarian.about.com/od/glossary/g/Seitan.htm
is one of the closest to the texture of meat (compared to Tofu)
My concerns with this soy based diet are related to the concern of soy being a plant estrogen and it's concern specifically - to men's health...
http://www.rheumatic.org/soy.htm
To answer (for her and other vegan's I know) the topic's question - I say: They would probably NOT eat it.
From what I gather from the article, it's irrelevant what OS you use - as some of these issues are at the lower level (under/before the OS). And, since all newer macs are Intel Core Duo's, I think this could be be an issue for them as well.
I am exceedingly ignorant in this area, but even I can grasp how dangerous some of these are.
And, as a mac user (PowerPC Dual G5 - thankfully), I suspect that this will come as really bad news to mac community as well.
It's unbelievable to me that some of the "Show Stopper" issues are not being addressed by intel - especially when news of nation to nation cyber wars/cyber attacks are beginning to pepper the news. The fact that some of these are not resolvable through software patches is VERY worrisome to me!
I am very appreciative to those who can fully interpret these flaws chip architecture and bring it out to the public's awareness.
