Lenovo & US Gov In Spat

The US government has found a new target having cut it’s teeth on the Checkpoint foolishness. A US State Department upgrade contract has raised concerns about the security of Lenovo’s computers due to the fact that they are owned by a Chinese company.

Members of the U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission fear Lenovo’s involvement in the contract to upgrade the U.S. State Department’s computers is a threat to national security.

So, I have to wonder which lobby got to these guys? I hear that the golfing is nice this time of year down south. But, hey they could be in cohoots with those wacky Israelis.
