Whelp, that singlehandedly kills any credibility tunnerlbear had in my mind. I hope the buyout was worth it guys. The exact market for services like tunnelbear are the same ones that avoid the likes of mcafee (the company) like the plauge. I can see them jumping like rats from a burning ship. They should just find a new name at this point, ala comcast, blackwater, etc. Even their literal namesake disses them publicly.
- technion 9y agoWhilst they probably lost a certain market, they certainly gained another one, and I'm not convinced it's a net loss as a business. Once this reaches Mcafee.com (as opposed to tunnelbear.com) I am entirely confident executives will inform me the product is an important part of our security strategy. At some future point, there will probably be a Gartner Quadrant rating them highly. McAfee has a poor name on HN, but this isn't generally reflected in business. This should be self evident- they'd be broke if it was.
