I think pogue forgot that mac os is a rip off in its self
Hello, its Darwin (a free os) with a pretty gui, thats pretty much a commercial rip off of gnome/kde
widgets, lol, look in kde/gnome for those as well
mac os is about as inventive as microsoft windows
Withen the first few paragraphs of this article I could not take it seriously...
The guy who was in the DIA and than left, sounds like a complete moron...
a web developer... who likes to blog and AIM, doesnt sound like a candidate for spying,
I wouldnt even let this guy watch my home network.
they probably showed him nmap... and he was like WTF NO BUTTONS!?
the real tools of the trade arent fancy click-and-spy like what this moron was fantisizing about,
this article / guy = lame
not even worth any more of my time...
Is...
virtualization is going to cost you more time/problems/personell
so the cost you save by going virtual is going to come at you ten fold

The bacteria security threat is total garbage, as is most of this guys predictions,
I dot think he knows the first
thing about computers, if he thinks its going to
'spontaneously go conscience" ahhahahahahaah
as far as bacteria recording keystrokes.... first thing thing to think about...
how is it going to know what key it is on?
also, the only conceivable way(s) i can come up with for that to work..
the bacterium (remember each one is just a tiny piece of a circuit... not an intelligent
processor or anything of the sort)
would have to cover the entire keyboard, and form such a complex circuit/processor to map
out (within its array of fellow bacterium,) the keyboard, and than be heat / pressure sensitive,
which is a whole other gigantic circuit, and than manage to communicate that back somewhere...
for bacteria flying thru a vent.. i don't think so, if this didn't work, they would have to
form listening circuits under the keys, pick up the electric signal when a key is pressed,
correctly interpret it, and than send that 'magically' i guess, or with their high powered
bacteria antennae, somewhere relevant.........
i could see however bacteria being used how they always have been used, to kill,
just with an extra 'spark' to them
