How can they not when they can get so many clients with a nice name (blackphone) and privacy promises (after the latest NSA leaks).
The thing is, even if this project is not as privacy-oriented as they try to make it seem, the market is developing towards more privacy and that is good.
Comment How secure? (Score 1) 156
Sure it is secure but how secure? We all know no security is perfect, who tested this?
Also how can we know that NSA will not ADD a device on postal to search. Is there a feature which disable such option?
How much is the expected price? How much will we need to pay for our privacy? Furthermore, can I buy the phone without getting my name registered?

Yes sir, that`s why I believe bitcoin will fail sooner or later. I wish I am mistaken but I do believe at some point it will burst into zeros and ones. However, I am sure this will be the future but until something solid and trustful stands behind there is no way.
I mean look, even RSA had dirty hands.
Comment My suggstion (Score 0) 154
My suggestion would be to let people use any material without having to worry about copyright as long it is not used commercial.
Copyright owners tend to use the fact that they lose a lot of profit from the internet. However, there have been studies showing that because of the internet several things get popular. For example Game of Thrones, it is released in the US, if only the US could see it (in fact only those who paid the subscription in the US) there GoT would not be the success it is right now.

That would be right if Google was how it was at the start. However Google is not how it once was as it is no more just a search engine. However, sure the laws in a country can change. That does not stop Google from moving its will-be-"illegal" server in a country where there will be no problem.
