End Of McAfee: Intel Shakeup Absorbs Remains Of Security Software Company

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:

"In an age when mass society has rendered obsolete the qualities of individual courage and independent thought, the oceans of the world still remain, vast and uncluttered, beautiful but unforgiving, awaiting those who will not submit. Their voyages are not an escape, but a fulfillment."
