"Jon Ellch was one of the presenters of the now infamous 'faux disclosure' at Black Hat and DEFCON last month. Ellch and co-presenter Dave Maynor have gone silent since then, fueling speculation that the entire presentation may have been a hoax. Ellch finally broke the silence in an email to the Daily Dave security mailing list over the weekend, and one thing is clear: he is chafing under the cone of silence which has been placed over the two of them."

So they hide the guilty party, but advertise apple laptops as hackable. Are they getting any money from Microsoft through back-channels? I mean seriously, this is almost as bad as a political campaign.
If they actually HAD exploit code for the built in apple driver, i would say that they are reasonably protected to claim such. What they did, by not having code and implying they did, warrants legal action. If someone did that type of phony negative advertising to my business, i would sue.
Not being able to explain a concept to an educated party, no matter how technical, is just conceding to laziness, lack of intelligence, or lack of mastery of the subject.
