Surveillance Backlash Could Cost Tech Companies More Than $35B by 2016
- MrTonyD 11y agoThey deserve any backlash they get. I've worked for many of the big software and hardware vendors over my career - and their executives talk about security but they don't really care. They will do just enough to convince buyers that they are secure - even when their own engineers tell them how easy it is to break in to the system (those engineers that haven't been fired already for actually caring about customers.)
- skidoo 11y agoTheir tax breaks and corporate subsidies will more than cushion them in their hour of supposed need. And I imagine PR like this will enable them to also raise prices here and there, so extra win.
