Once the lever is plunged home, however, you will return. It was a sight that drowned out for him most of what had preceded and almost all that had followed.

It looks like the Apple keyboards can still have their firmware manipulated, but now you have to be root to do it. The only people who should be able to do this is Apple itself, not any root user!!

I am glad that this hacker disclosed this responsibly and didn't just release some Mac virus that screws a bunch of people. The silence from Apple however is just incredible and speaks loud and clear. No comment from Apple whatsoever. Hopefully they're busy working on a patch. This is just unbelievably scary.
