It may be difficult to "un-burn" the factory firmware, depending on just 'how' Amazon/Lab126 has decided to do the 'burn'.

Burn the factory firmware to what exactly? (As in "burn to CD-R", "burn to flash", etc)
And what exactly prevents people from using the serial port? Have they finally "remembered" to lock down the bootloader?
