McAfee says new gadget can block NSA

Quote:Anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee has revealed details of his plan to thwart the NSA's surveillance with an inexpensive, pocket-size gadget.

Dubbed "Decentral," the as-yet-unbuilt device will cost less than US$100 (NZ$120), McAfee promised the enthusiastic crowd of about 300 engineers, musicians and artists in San Jose on Saturday.

"There will be no way (for the government) to tell who you are or where you are," he said in an onstage interview with moderator Dan Holden at the inaugural C2SV Technology Conference + Music Festival.

Just watched Gretchen Carlson interview McAfee on Fox. He said it was a second device you could put in your pocket
and consisted of a floating message base where neither the sender or receiver is identified and claimed it would be totally secure.
Find that hard to believe. Every country has always believed their encryptions were unbreakable or nearly so. So not buying
that puppy. Claims should be finished with development in six months and on the market in a year.

He also claimed the Obamacare computer system was designed by Indians using Java. Claimed five good programmers should have been able to come up with a much better system. Said the Indian programmers did not even have the basics right for such a task oriented potential system by utilizing Java to begin with.

Taxpayers got hosed by foreigners. Imagine that.

As much as I'd love this to be true, it isn't. And if it is, it won't be for long.

It isn't true? Definatly, and you know that how. You are clearly smarter than McAfee. Doubt that. You are not even smarter than a first grader.

... He says as he misses first grade punctuation.

Yeah, it might work for a few days until the NSA has their thousands of computers break it down and find the roots of it.
Then some NSA employee will sneak it out and sell it to some company or other government.

Clown

As yet unbuilt.

Doesn't McAfee need to tend to his drug manufacturing and murder investigations?

Indeed.

RAnd now he's hawking a device that will protect us all from NSA surveillance.
