But by the end of the decade they will be activated and be capable of telling if you really are who you say you are. It won't just be in computers however, it'll also be in laptops and even your trusty cellphone. Currently its only in company computers to make sure their networks are secure, but beginning next year they will begin to appear in consumer computers. They work like a pin code, reading your machine more then a username and password. For example, if your bank has this TPM software installed, if you attempted to log onto their website after obtaining someone elses username and password it wouldn't work because the computer doesn't have the same "pin" number as their computer has. The article then goes on and gives a bunch more examples about stuff like E-bay and buying stuff online and then to attempt to explain how its only "good" or "bad" depending on how its used and then trying to make it sound good. Kinda worthless stuff to mention.
Damnit, I just paraphrased that didn't I? DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL!
