from the article: "This kind of leak is a dream come true for advanced corporate espionage or intelligence operations."

i disagree. this is banal stuff for "corporate espionage or intelligence". they have that and more for ages. no data that has a price is private.

what is interesting is that we could now have a decent open sourced BIOS implementation. ...Maybe if someone in china or other country with less software copyright starts the project we all can contribute?
