Side note, Tomato could be extended to encompass a lot of the functions that McAffee talks about, but that doesn't mean it couldn't exist alongside his box.  He'd probably like that...

The guy truly is nuts, but he knows what he's talking about.  I think he'd probably go for some kind of open protocol on this that could be built into pretty much anything.  He rolls that way.

I think it could be just a vpn on hardware or something like that. Will see it when he release it.

it's two things apparently, firstly it'll encrypt your comms but also if enough people have one it'll work like a mobile mesh wifi network

spontaneous encryption in a local mesh cannot be broken.  i looked into this matter a while back based on a bet with a friend....

If he's pro-bitcoin it means that he's open to more ideas. I wouldn't mind trying it out

John wanted-for-murder McAfee?

Actually, never mind that. That doesn't bother me. What bothers me is how terrible McAfee Antivirus is. How can you block the NSA if you can't even write a usable UI?

guess you didn't get the memo, he sold the company looooong ago, and no, he doesn't know how to uninstall it either

What's funny is how desperate McAfee the corporation is to distance itself from its namesake, when even being wanted for murder, McAfee is probably more wanting to distance himself from the corporation he started.  I'd rather have McAfee the maybe-murderer in my house (especially if he brings whatever weird research chemicals he has in his stash) then I would have that malware disguised as antivirus software on my computer.

So he's building a router with Retroshare as firmware basically.

(Yes, I know that's not firmware, but it seemed a good way to get my thought across.)

Assuming he's actually doing it and not just saying he is.  People like him sometimes float vaporware concepts just to see who's interested.

This is great. I take it back, now I might be in the market for his product. Murder allegations be damned, it was a pretty funny story while he hid in his own complex.


Then again, one has to wonder at the NSA-avoidance capacity of the guy who got caught with image gps metadata.
