Now I'll freely admit, I don't know much about chip design, but I watched something a long while back where someone showed that there are parts of chips which aren't made clear on manufacturer's details, posts which aren't clarified. That's what got me thinking... Why would Google, who were founded for the purpose of mass surveillance, provide a tool which can bypass it? It doesn't make sense. So if another company is going to make hardware which Graphene will work with, I'd be much more interested to learn more. All the while it's on Google hardware it's not for me. They can watch me openly, like they currently do, on Amdroid.

Yes, we desperately need freer hardware, and I'd probably switch to an alternative if that would exist.
