The ongoing fight with TI for the legality of our factored OS signing keys has been featured on the wall street journal. Because of this more awareness has been raised on the matter.

(also there is a picture of Brandon W for all of you who want to see what he looks like)

Maybe they forgot a word between factor and large. Or simply don't know math and cryptography and don't have a science reviewer.

wow the factorization of a large prime isn't the prime itself? joking

It's good "public awareness", but I'm getting tired of being called a hacker instead of a programmer.

Indeed. EFF and the like even say that what we're doing is allowed under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act so TI really can't do anything.
