I was under impression that the self-pardon story was part of the information warfare campaign. Is there any proof to the story?

I had that freeze issue and the DROP vs REJECT idea came to my mind too. As far as I remember, it was REJECT everywhere. So no.

I have quite a restrictive firewall. Like an old school one: accept the necessary, drop the rest. Found my Mac unusable in these conditions. It always tries to phone home unsuccessfully, so freezes. Then freezes again. It has the offline mode but it has no firewalled mode unfortunately. Once the cable is inserted it keeps trying.
