Take a look at this:

Scary Crap if its true. Can anyone verify?

UPDATE: For the kind comments from the honorable gentlemen below:

Here is where I got my source from:

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ar...ssecurity.html

Dated June 16th. The link was removed from the main news page but still is visable in the computers/security section.

Uh...what does this have to do with being paraniod?

Lets see... DEFINITION:

par·a·noid
adj.
1.Relating to, characteristic of, or affected with paranoia.
2.Exhibiting or characterized by extreme and irrational fear or distrust of others: a paranoid suspicion that the phone might be bugged.

par·a·noi·a
n.
1.A psychotic disorder characterized by delusions of persecution with or
2.without grandeur, often strenuously defended with apparent logic and reason. Extreme, irrational distrust of others.

As you can see this involves living beings not inanimate objects. Please stay on topic.

Anyhow it would be interesting to see if anyone has seen one of these under their 600M or any other Dell laptop.

Well it may be some kind of joke but with all the illegal things our governement is doing it would not surprise me.

Anyhow better to find out if this is true than to just dismiss it. If its a joke than its a damn funny one!

f-u for not giving the original user who found it credit. And like I said, no such chip exists in 600m.

So i see you think i took this guys link. LOL! I got the information off of whatreallyhappened.com which has since taken the link off probably because it was a joke.

Also I do not read posts in other forums other than Dell or For Sale. So this is just a case of two people finding the same information at almost the same time.

Shame on you for jumping to conclusions.

Don't you think you should have mentioned that if you knew that before posting.

Don't you think it was important to mention the source given its nature - a propaganda/conspiracy website.

its fake. The letter is from the wrong building. It has Secret Service on it; the SS has nothing to do with FOI requests. The appeals process is only 20 days, not 60. Also appeals are not directed to Secretary of the Department...

several google searches, the truth is out there

If this story were real he wouldn't have gotten an answer so quickly. The Dell service rep would have trouble understanding, reply in broken english, and then have to put him on hold. 30 minutes later he/she still wouldn't have understood and would have had to call him back the next day regarding his request. At the end of the ordeal he would be so frustrated that he wouldn't have the energy left to deal with the problem any longer.
