The HMC is not a toaster.  It is a sophisticated black
box with both Internet connectivity and some not well
understood access to the customers' CECs.  I do not
think it a good example at all.  Hopefully the secrets
of that platform will never be compromised or the platform
subverted, unless that has already come to pass--who
would know?  Certainly not the customers.
