Shouldn't it be "...for OS X" these days just as "for Windows" is better than "for PC".
With PC, that could mean any personal computer (Windows, OSX, Linux etc.) Mac is pretty well understood as PC's that are running OSX.
This is awesome, but what about hotplug? I think a DMA/coldboot attack requires enough sophistication, adding hotplug to take the laptop isn't a huge burden on top.

I guess it'd be harder for ethernet, but still feasible (and many people use wireless - so the attacker could just work out of a van or room from wireless range).

This looks pretty awesome. Is there any information as to how it impacts battery life and resources? It seems pretty small so I'm guessing not much.
How often do you lock your computer with ethernet plugged in but no power cable?
Kudos, iSEC. Love how you guys are always giving back.
