Especially considering that at least 70% of all malware comes from social 
engineering... 

This article is garbage.

I saw this when it came out. I think he's using the term zero day to refer to 
unknown malware, although how they solve that I couldn't say.

It's something called Critical Path Analysis.  It means there's
always something you should have done first.  For example, if you
want to build a house, you need to know how to make bricks, and
before you can make bricks you need to know what kind of clay to
use.  And so on.
 What's clay?
 Don't know.
 What're bricks?
 Not sure.
 Well, what's a house?
 Haven't quite worked it out.

I suppose I should have been more explicit in the first message, but I did kind

I think most of the hype is rooted in the continuing merge of ZeuS and SpyEye:

While it *is* happening, you know how the mainstream trade press likes
a good shocking headline. ;-)

 That's good.  I could go for that.
 (Developers might be a bit irked ...)

Real Harvard architecture is sufficiently annoying to develop for that
I suspect the first thing that would be done with a true Harvard
machine would be the creation of some kind of pcode engine that was
effectively von Neumann.

Indeed, that's approximately how many modern CPUs work - we just call
the pcode engine implementation microcode.
