Impeach him. I'm sorry if you voted for him and you think it's a too "radical" move, but I really think it's actually a very "proportional" and reasonable move at this point. More think he should be impeac

I think most of the important figures in "Anonymous", the "activists", the ones "leading the fight", and planing operations, have been caught by FBI/NSA thanks to NSA's mass surveillance system that c

It's just a cycle. First came the "native" desktop, then came the "web" for the desktop, and it started replacing most "native" use cases. Now comes the "native" mobile, and eventually the web on

Is HTTP 2.0 finalized and approved? If not could we push for it to support PFS by default with ECDHE, which seems to add only 15 percent overhead [1]? That seems like a small price to pay if the security of every session grows exponentially

I hope all of these companies will lose a lot of customers due to these revelations. Their cooperation with NSA to weaken their security software while selling it as "very secure" to their customers is disgusting, and it's ir

What about Moxie's TextSecure? I think it's going to be integrated into CyanogenMod ROM's soon, so I'd like to see an evaluation of that, too. An evaluation of Surespot would be nice, too, even though it's not using

I feel the same way. Besides the fact that I think the Patriot Act and the FISA Amendments Act are disgusting, unconstitutional laws, at least let that be Americans' problem. If they are fine with it, so be it (they really shouldn&#x

Even if Microsoft is telling the truth (very skeptical about it), you could see how they can easily lie through their teeth with that statement " We aren't explicitly providing a backdoor for the NSA - but hey, if NSA knows o

Except now we also have to be much more vigilant about open source standards, too. For example, now I worry the security model of WebRTC has been compromised by NSA, because it has the potential to offer very secure P2P conversations to the

You can lose the USB key. I'd prefer an NFC ring, that unlocks everything as long as it's in my hand or close to my hand: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mclear/nfc-ring

I upvoted this because I want it to kickstart a movement among companies, so everyone increases their security, end to end. But at least on my part, this doesn't begin to "impress me". So far they're only talking about e

I don't really care about the smartwatch, but the Mirasol display should really get more attention from other OEM's. It's probably the best compromise between e-ink like battery life, and having colorful animated screens (now

Techcrunch used to be my #1 go-to tech site a few years ago. After they switched to the Facebook commenting system, I stopped caring about it, because I found I didn't want to comment anymore. Also, if anything, I think Facebook commen

One day, the people favoring this "HTML5 DRM" just so they can watch Netflix without a plugin, will regret whey supported it, and made it happen.

I like it, but can you at least add Startpage/Ixquick and DDG as options for search engines? Options are good and people might not use it without having those options.

'Would they have considered obscure Russian software if they hadn’t been able to examine the source code? “Never in a million years,” Prince says. “If it hadn’t been open-source, we wouldn’t have trusted it.”' And that's ho

PFS only adds 15 percent overhead, and the new ARMv8 architecture will be up to 10x faster for AES.

Microsoft? Microsoft doesn't own the Nokia brand. If anything it will be Nokia suing them.

They've just "bought away" the incompetence. Out of the 11,000 employees and $11 billion/year being invested in breaking crypto, there's bound to be some good progress there.

After the new revelations every site who's using SSL should be using Perfect Forward Secrecy with it, too. Right now, only a few known companies like Google (only for the search engine probably), DuckDuckGo, and Ixquick/Startpage

Hopefully it will stay that way. I think global corporations have started increasing their lobbying in EU rapidly. It may be why the EU Comission usually seems to make the worse decisions, and the opposite of what the EU Parliament wants.

Not to mention this could potentially make them more money if all of the sudden people can just talk to their relatives in other EU countries without having to pay "special fees".

WebRTC seems to become a great piece of technology. Hopefully the NSA hasn't made its encryption useless, too. It would be great if it was still secure, since it's also P2P, so harder to do any of that "lawful" mass inte

Yet so far there haven't been any major changes in how they treat businesses or people. The only major changes have been the designs of the websites and apps.
