"Modern Apple Macs, although they use Intel chips, do not ship with the AMT software, and are thus in the clear."
This just doesn't sound credible to me. Apple have a special batch of Intel processors without the management engine? Or are they all just consumer-line systems which supposedly have the AMT capabilities fused off? This could use some clarification.
You know, I always believed the thing about which way up US receptacles should be installed (ground on top); it makes so much sense, and I religiously installed them as such. Then you find that 99% of devices which plug directly into the wall are now upside down, right-angle plugs have the cable exiting upwards instead of downwards, etc... it's a fiasco. Whatever logic dictates, it's a lost cause - in the real world no-one installs them with ground at the top, they really *have* to be installed "upside down".
