Real bad for anyone who carries sensitive information on their laptop. Don't leave your laptop unattended. Apparently it can be done to pretty much any computer.

Perhaps the soldered down ram in the macbook air isn't such a bad idea ;-P

The soldered down ram wouldn't help against this attack as they can utilize your ram by booting from an external hard-drive with the attacking software on it.

Macbook Air is still gay.
