with the security software company originally founded by John McAfee as it is finally fully integrated with Intel.

John McAfee is unlikely to be upset by the news about his former company. When asked by the BBC what he thought about the name change to Intel Security, McAfee said: "I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet. These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users."

"My elation at Intel's decision is beyond words," he said.

John McAfee and Peter Norton had great programs. When the companies fell into other hands, the security programs also fell in quality.

Belize doings and porn preferences aside, McAfee is certainly a character, and appears to be quite a staunch advocate for privacy.

Along that same line, some might find this lecture by Bruce Schneier interesting:

"... it becomes easier to save everything then to figure out what to save."
