Is SuperMicro still in the secondary server picks?
Although looks like Apple engineers made a mistake and the malicious malware was something internal.
"Leng told The Information that Apple was the only company to report the firmware issue, and he said the servers are used by thousands of customers. He asserted that when his company asked Apple's engineers to provide information about the firmware, they gave an incorrect version number—and then refused to give further information."
God. Passing the buck really does occur everywhere. I hate it.

They're really one of the top picks today.

We can't be sure, but like @coliver said, it does sound like Apple.

Yup, sounds that way to me, too.

Looking at some other news sources it seems like people are blaming SuperMicro... We have incomplete information obviously but from what I can tell this was Apple through and through. Another time that Apple can do no wrong.

This reminds me a lot of the case with Monsanto, where they have a patient on a seed variety, and sue farmers who try to keep seeds for planting later from the crops they grew.

At least they face a crimes against humanity court for that.

No. Monsanto legally applied for and was granted a patent for the seed.
Monsanto sold the seed only to people that signed a contract that stated keeping seed is not allowed.
Monsanto has done zero wrong and the farmer is in breech of contract.
This is no different than Jim's case with the Chamber of Commerce. The chamber, as far as we are aware, was in breech of contract.
Now, if you want to argue if Monsanto should have been allowed to get the patent in the first place, or if their contract should be legal, or anything else, you are free to.
But, that statement of yours is pure shit.
