Googled it.

Checks out.

If you doubt my credentials, google "GPIA7R" and see who shows up in the top million results.

Edit: ... I just learned I'm in a tag on Tumblr, and I don't even use tumblr.

Interesting.... I am not in the first page of "eldirector" AT ALL. Good.

Egosurfing (also Googling yourself, vanity searching, egosearching, egogoogling, autogoogling, self-googling) is the practice of searching for one's own name, or pseudonym on a popular search engine in order to review the results.

Personally, I never felt the need. I already know with certainty that I know more about myself than Google does, so I see no point.

Oh yeah, I can remote wipe. But I cant force configs like wireless profiles, apps, specific settings, etc. If I want to "force" the few things I can push down with a MDM, the end user still has final veto. "wireless policy is being installed." with two buttons, allow/deny.

Yep. I call that the **** you button.

I am proud that I'm no more than a speck of dust in the winds of social media. **** twitter, FB, tumbler, etc.

Dave, you have taken my scathing indictment of Googlebating and rendered it moot.

His long after they get this key before its out in the open?
I would bet under a month. Hell .gov can't even keep data safe on air gap networks.
Apple would be shooting themselves in the head doing this.

They can't even keep top secret emails on their own private network that's inaccessible from outside that network?

Wait... what?

Secrets get transferred to a flash drive. Then snuck out.

I don't know how much I trust the source, but this shows Apple has a history of giving up user's data to the Feds:

So Apple could get the data off without creating a backdoor?

Not from what I've read. Apparently, they cooperated with an older version of the OS that allowed such access even when encrypted. Apparently, the newer setup is built without backdoors.

Via a cryptographer on Twitter:

If the US government dictating iPhone encryption design sounds ok to you, ask yourself how you'll feel when China demands the same.

Wait. Which what?

where'd you see that 10% thing?

I googled GPIA7R. It was several results down the page.

And yes, he USED to be awesome. McAfee is still a name in security, but he sold the company well over a decade ago. The Mcafee you know is not this guy. Thats like saying Bell is awesome because of your current office telephone.

What has he been doing since? OK, besides living in south america getting into bad trouble and having to sneak out of the country to avoid prosecution. I dont know of anything technical he has been doing.

I used to be a kickass skydiver and freefall videographer. That was almost 10 years ago. Today? Not so much. And technology changes tremendously.

He is riding his own name's coattails IMHO. I could be wrong. But I have seen nothing to lead me to believe he has remained up to his elbows in tech keeping himself sharp. Frankly with the colorful life he has had since selling his namesake company, Im not so sure I even trust him with a sharp object.

I, um... oh.

GOP senator: Apple is 'company of choice for terrorists' | TheHill

Oh, Tom.

Edit: Two opposing takes on the subject -

From Gabriel Malor, conservative lawyer: Cut the crap, Apple, and help FBI open the damn phone.

From Brandon Morse, libertarian/conservative: If The FBI Can Make Apple Open Syed Farook’s iPhone, It Can Do Anything

 

[JTScribe]

I don't know if I'd call Malor a "conservative" . . . he's definitely more of an establishment type IMO.

Totally secure networks are rendered useless by the human error/malicious action problem.

I'm really disappointed in the GOP candidates for backing the .gov on this one. I thought they were supposed to be for freedom and liberty and stuff.
