Lenovo hasn't been having a good streak lately. First there was superfish, and now there's this. It's a shame that the company is constantly trying to exploit some bug to make an extra bit of money. If these two events never happened, I would probably own a Lenovo. From what I've seen, they've made some excellent pieces of hardware in the past. The Thinkpads have been regarded as some of the best laptops in the market. I have a family member with a Yoga (the ones that are a tablet and flip completely around), and the build quality on it is great. It might be a bit slow, but the thing is super light and feels generally durable. A lot of the revelations that have came out about Lenovo are sad. It's a shame to see a company build great products, but shoot themselves in the foot with bad software decisions.
ButterflyEffect and rob05c, might interest you :) Here's another source on this story. It's pretty disappointing but I honestly cannot say it's unexpected, it's simply the next step in the path computing has been taking for the last half a decade. Lenovo crap all over the once awesome Thinkpad range and earlier this year were caught tampering with the root certificates to inject ads. Disgusting. But expect more.
