NAI to Sell Off PGP Product Line

Posted by michael on from the pretty-bad-profits dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Network Associates announced today that they are ceasing development of most of the PGP product line, including PGPMail and PGP Desktop Encryption software. This was apparently due to disappointing sales of the products. See the FAQ for more information on what's being killed and what's being kept." Another anonymous and unverified submitter says, "The entire PGP Business Unit was axed more or less wholesale. I guess selling encryption doesn't really make money. I worked there up until today and somewhere around 250 of the 300 employees were clipped."

    Nice Icon for cryptography, I haven't seen that one before. They must be upgrading all the topic icons to newer ones.

    Well this is just fucking sad.

    Our great nation is under the most serious threat ever seen to our shores, and the only thing you ivory tower pantywaste cocksmokers can whine about is...

    Gee the goverment is going to read my emails about my quarter ounce hash stash??

    I got news for you little driveling dolts. You might DIE tomorrow because of your ignorance... then again, you might LIVE, because the secret agencies you hate, the ones that protect you in your ignorant bliss, thwarted an attack that was targeted at YOU. So, whats it gonna take for you to come to your thick headed senses?


    P.S. whats up with the slashdot comments page? It crashes more often than bombs into Kabul. Is it run by a recent "stable" linux kernel? AHAHAHAH LINUX BITCHES
