 Intel
announced
on January 20 last year that it was planning to include a unique Processor Serial Number
(PSN) in every one of its new Pentium III chips. According to Intel, the PSN will be used
to identify users in electronic commerce and other net-based applications.
Some folks believe that providing a unique PSN which can be read remotely by web sites
and other programs in mass-market computers would significantly damage consumer privacy.
This number is designed to be used to link users' activities on the Internet for marketing
and other purposes.
