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?

    yeah, it sounds like you don't know about austin. fine women, live music, arts/crafts, tech, from local beer to exotic drugs, beautiful scenery (rocky/hilly and green with plenty of water. not desert, etc), sports. fairly modern, in fact.

    It's still an American city that relies on cars for transport, and worse, it's in Texas so it's hot as hell. No thanks.

    Also, "Buda" isn't in Austin, it's way outside it.

      5 Miles? = "way outside"

      Look at you choosing to get turned into a feudal peasant stuck within a 7 mile radius of your birthplace your entire life. You people are literally begging for it.
