    If this whole thing was built around a short-selling strategy...it looks like a pretty expensive failure. pic.twitter.com/DYxQGoUpIJ

    This is some extremely irresponsible disclosure of some not very dangerous flaws that looks like an attempt to manipulate AMD's stock price more than anything else. http://www.cnet.com/...

    I love this statement on #amdFlaws - I'm pretty well convinced that this is designed to manipulate stock prices. That doesn't make the vulnerabilities fake or any less dangerous (though you need admin access to exploit most). http://amdflaws.com/... http://twitter.com/...

    New vulnerabilities found in some AMD chips. Here's the catch: AMD had less than a day to look at the research. No wonder why it's response is so vague. http://www.cnet.com/... http://twitter.com/...
