    Cool, but I wouldn't want to use any of their chips on my machines.

    You probably wouldn't get one even if you wanted to :)

    I wouldn't be surprised if they are planning to release this eventually, but not to consumers. But I don't think it's a good idea to buy chips from a company like Google, I would have no trust in them at all.

    I would not trust Google for a moment or that they tell you the truth. All these giants are in each others pockets.

    I hope google will use similar technology in their phones and tablets. Apple do similar to protect their customers as well as their internal systems.
