I honestly didn't think that anyone was seriously saying that the BIOS code was doing all that, just that the BIOS was infected so that it boots the malware instead of an OS.

IIRC, the Code Red worm wasn't a terribly large exhibit of malware, but it still managed to propagate. As it stands, I think the biggest complaint currently regarding badBIOS is the lack of information. Until we find out more, much of the commentary in the linked article (and the comments here and elsewhere) are little more than conjecture. Still, conjecture can be fun! Let your imaginations run wild--until we get something more concrete.
