Do tell us @officialmcafee

If this was true, why would he admit it here?

Stephen Judge He love's the attention ;-)

Nate Beerd fair enough

Mark 'Rizzn' Hopkins The world will find out, eventually. Never hurts to ask. :)

Shawn Nunley

Ha, if it were *not*, do you think he has anything to gain by admitting it anywhere?

John Casaretto2

You've gone back to giving away software for free, strange how it comes around full circle - #sharewarepioneer

What do you think of Mozilla's approach to app permission in their FirefoxOS. They don't present you with a long list of permissions to accept up front, instead they present individual permission as and when they are needed. The user stays in control.

John McAfee

We stay in control only as long as we are willing to pay attention. If you have a hundred apps (not uncommon) it becomes time consuming and tedious to keep on top of it all.

Stephen Judge I think that's why @Mozilla's approach is good and well thought out, in line with their mission to put user privacy first. Only presenting app permission requests when they are needed allows to to make informed, patient, bitesize decisions.

me and two friends created an app, (outdoorsyapp.com) and are struggling with users worried about privacy because it involves location and mapping. would like to pick your brain about your thoughts on this sort of security!

Will the results of the Cognizant be able to be viewed elsewhere in a single source like on your website? Would be good to have a searchable list of known high-risk apps.

Rather like the Google profile report? That would be helpful.

Shawn Nunley

trust rating apps is not a new idea, but one I haven't seen any good work on. Sure would be nice.

How important are antivirus apps for modern machines, with OS's lacking gaping holes like windows xp SP1 are modern software companies just fear mongering to make a buck?

Great question, Alex.

John McAfee

The problem with smart phones is not the OS, but the uncountable number of apps that we willingly grant permission to violate us.

I think you know the answer to this!

Alexander Wilcox I meant more for your average joe, technical people need not apply as their common sense and general processes protect against this already

John rumor has it your in Montreal, see below posts. I know you are very secretive about your location and activities. How does one get to meet you in person. I'll buy you a poutine!!!

Eric Wright0

On a non tech question: How do you like Montreal?

Knowledge is power. This app will help with transparency. Are you planning any follow on type of products?

Admin, would you like a list of all Cleariati's alisas' too? I have about a dozen.

Yes please.

Don't bother wasting your time. Generally he is a help by providing the necessary tension to keep attention focused on what I want. In this forum its pure and simple extra garbage.
