Everytime I hear Lenovo I hear superfish. It's really unfortunate that I do not feel I could trust these guys any more.

  What I find disturbing is that they have not made much of an effort to clean up their reputation. Which obviously means that it doesn't hurt their sales sufficiently. I think installing malware that goes to these lengths to compromise the user should make reviewers obliged to point out that the manufacturer does have a history of installing dangerous malware and that one should take this into consideration. Not that I believe other manufacturers are innocent, but that's not really important. What is important is that reviewers take some responsibility in informing the public about what demands it should be making.

    The problem is, when you look at non technical users most of them care about, how shiny their new laptop looks. Or that they can play candy-crush on it or browse facebook. Not many people unfortunately I notice, care about their own privacy in the digital age. And the fun thing at the end of the day is, the end users of these products are majority non-technical users.

      That's true; it just depends on where the company is trying to go and which user group they are trying to please. But then again, I see sites like passcode growing, so maybe it's changing. What do you think?

  Seriously, and I couldn't trust them not to backdoor the hardware too at this point. It terrifies me that Lenovo is now responsible for pushing out updates to my Moto X (gen 1).
