For some reason, most people look at their computer and think it is
inherently safe in the world. But when they look at almost anything else
they use or own, they intuitively see and know it is at risk at all times.
Car, house, boat, family, wine collection, iPod - they are all seen as being
at risk of being stolen, burned, crashed or otherwise meeting with some
nefarious or accidental event.
Why do people think differently of their computers?

It all depends on whose requirements are being met. I'm happy about
trusted computing if my own requirements are met. Much less happy
if it's somebody else's, who did not pay for my computer.
