It appears that some Dell laptops now come with hidden keylogger hardware built-in. Some people I asked about this suggested it was a device called a Keyghost.
Why would Dell pay money to do this?
And is it for real?

Yep, I noticed that after an earlier commenter posted that URL.
Oh well, still good for entertainment value :-)
