Nothing to worry about, patches have been dispensed and will be applied 
on millions of devices "as soon as possible".

What makes ME seem all the more sketchy is how evasive intel is about 
it, logic would dictate that the most money would be made via making it 
a removable TPM style module (buy or no blurays for you $$$$) but 
instead they choose to integrate it and make it mandatory.

I wonder how hard would it be for a foreign intelligence agency to ruin 
a country via convincing an intel employee to embed a ME program on 
every new PC that introduces subtle errors to various important 
calculations...better than a physical hardware flaw as your own stuff 
isn't vulnerable.
