What good will physical switches do if a virus is waiting for you to flip that switch to write-enable so that it can now infect the HDD firmware? Switches would be useful if you never update the firmware. In which case, eliminate the switch and make the firmware permanently read-only. My point is, we need a more secure way to update firmware.
Unless the virus is resident in Bios, (which can also be protected in the same manner), it would be impossible to be infected if you are in a power off state, then enable your switch/jumper, power on, flash your firmware, then disable the switch/jumper after completion before booting into your OS.
In the old floppy days things were pretty much this way. Time to go back.
There goes my business plan for "GigaUpload"!
If I implemented it, I'd get a thousand times his sentence.
You and the TeraUpload guy are screwed.
Obama believes Silicon Valley companies also want to solve the problem. “They’re patriots.”
A patriot is "a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors." Corporations run to whatever country will shelter them. They have no allegiance unless it empowers them financially or otherwise.
Snowden would qualify as a better patriot than any corporation since he is 1) a person (and not in the deluded SCOTUS sense either), and 2) he is prepared to defend it against ITSELF. The setback for him is his country will not let him back without sitting in a jail cell for the remainder of his life.
Blatant conflict of interest with Uber's minority shareholders. Watching Google tapdance around this one will be loads of fun.
Shouldn't be an issue. Google's been pretty consistent about stealing from its partners without retribution.
What monopoly?
