Thunderstrike media

The popular media sometimes does an ok job with technical stories, although security ones are frequently difficult to get right. In the case of Thunderstrike, the security vulnerability in Apple's EFI firmware, some of them have summarized it well. I've marked those with a ★.

Not reading the comments applies double for social media sites. According to an Anonymous Coward on slashdot, I'm "not even a tech person".
