Until they are served with a secret order telling them (i) to install key escrow backdoor and/or (ii) until NSA starts implanting torjans onto the suspects' computers (like FBI did with some of the Tor users recently, exploiting an unpatched vulnerability in the TorBrowser - http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/08/04/2054208/half-of-tor-sites-compromised-including-tormail ).

Would you be so kind as to post a website or contact info of the company you mention? Many of us might need its services in the future and this one sounds like they really know what they're doing. Thank you.

and realize that your geeky wet dream of fully open source OS on mobile phones is just that -- a dream.

Samsung, practically the only true major player behind Android, sells more phones to the dumb sheep than Apple does. They don't care about geeks a bit.

The arrogance of a big player is punished when deserved. They certainly did have enough money to examine markets as big the UK for potential infringement of a new brand they wanted to introduce.

CDN (Content Distribution Networks) are even more "God-like". They serve most traffic for the biggest players, like Microsoft.

The stats, metadata, and content must be quite interesting.

Instead of posting FUD, post something useful. Such as which vendors/manufacturers do use AES. That would be a useful research. Otherwise, you are just an attention-seeking whore, not a serious researcher.

Is this a joke?

If what you do in the various Starbucks venues is even slight statistically related, you can rest assured that there are automated methods to identify you.

If they treat us citizens of the EU as potential enemies who can be legally spied upon, I consider it a crime if the EU official co-operates with the US. A crime against me, as one of their voter, who are the only party that gives them any kind of power.

Remind them the EU is the largest economy in the world and that we will are morally more entitled to set the rules for the democratic world. Not them, not anymore.

On the homepage you boldly say "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit".

Why then, on the individual article pages, you keep that fact a secret? The tagline is merely: "The free encyclopedia."

There was a change made to rectify that, but some "admins" quickly reverted the change. Can you explain why?

there is no compelling reason to buy a new computer

You'd think the idea of a permanently vulnerable OS connected to the net (sending your passwords, credit card numbers, or just about anything, to botnet owners) is not a reason compelling enough?

And who the fuck moderated this +5? Am I still on Slashdot?

It is keylogging, it's just that it's server-side.

Actually, no. It is client-side (whether in the Firefox search box or at google.com).

I sincerely believe he is right.

If you disagree, feel free to abuse the mod system and mod me down. Go ahead, I've got plenty of karma to burn, and frankly, don't care.

I am really starting to be sick of these "security researchers" who don't know that the 1st law of the computer security is:

If malware is running on your computer, it is not your computer anymore.

It follows that no matter what you do, malware will win. Discovering that malware can "siphon" memory is really... uh, groundbreaking.

What makes me even more sick is the incredibly amount of various BlackHat "security conferences" and supposedly geek-oriented media like Slashdot that let those people present this kind of "discoveries" as legitimate, notable, noteworthy, important and new.

I am really, really, sick of you.
