* Security Alert: MacBook Batteries Can Be Hacked
A security researcher found that batteries in several Apple
laptops can actually be hacked. The batteries have controller
chips that aren't too hard to access with software and can be
altered to do some pretty nasty stuff. I wonder how many other PC
manufacturers have similar security holes in their battery
controller chips?
