Michael Larabel over at Phoronix got his journalism on to produce this interesting story:

We were tipped off today that AMD's Head of Platform Firmware, Edward Benyukhis, publicly posted on LinkedIn that he is "looking to hire someone with solid Coreboot and UEFI background." If you have Coreboot experience or know someone who is, see LinkedIn for contacting Benyukhis.

Oh, and they're also one of the sponsors for the Open-Source Firmware Conference next week. Does this mean I may actually get to use a computer that isn't about to hit a decade old and without a functional hardware rootkit sometime soon?

    Austin is the hippie Mecca of Texas, in case you weren't aware. Plenty of weird shit and "culture" going on there all the time.

    It's still in Texas, which means it's hot. It doesn't matter what kind of people you move in there, you can't overcome basic geography and weather patterns.
