Letter explains hormone imbalance
By John Oates 5th January 2009
Ever since Steve Jobs said he would not be giving the keynote speech at MacWorld, there have been lurid rumours that his health had taken a serious turn for the worse - but the Apple bigwig has finally had a go at putting the world straight. Jobs said today that his weight loss during the year is the result of a hormone imbalance, and that he has already started treatment to counter it. The letter to the Apple Community said of his weight loss: "My doctors think they have found the cause — a hormone imbalance that has been “robbing” me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy... The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I’ve already begun treatment. "But, just like I didn’t lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apple’s CEO during my recovery."

Researchers Hack Into Intel's VPro
By Robert McMillan, Jan 5, 2009
Security researchers said they've found a way to circumvent an Intel vPro security feature used to protect PCs and the programs that they run from tampering. Invisible Things Labs researchers Rafal Wojtczuk and Joanna Rutkowska said they've created software that can "compromise the integrity" of software loaded using the Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) that is part of Intel's vPro processor platform. That's bad news, because TXT is supposed to help protect software -- a program running within a virtual machine, for example -- from being seen or tampered with by other programs on the machine. Formerly code-named LaGrande, TXT first started shipping in some Intel-based PCs last year. Although almost no software uses the TXT technology today, the research could matter a lot to computer companies and government agencies that are thinking of using it to secure their future products.
