    Heres the slides (warning TS//) http://apps.washingtonpost.com... They are from 2007, before iPhone came out. Much has changed since then.

    NSA capabilities now include tapping phones of an entire country this is even U// by now https://firstlook.org/theinter...

    Since Tor was identified as interesting in 2007 and since it hasn't died, it is safe to assume efforts are continuing to be applied against it.

    And no, I don't have access to Internet scale data streams here, just using the standard Tor disclaimer at https://www.torproject.org/abo... but even 10 minutes is a long time if you have constant near-realtime communication.

    Of course, Tor would be very effective for messaging services where you send one message and then disconnect!

    > Why is it that the ads in mags like Byte were a key part of the reason I bought the magazine -- but banners and online ads have become little more than annoyance and irritation?

    This is the same reason some Superbowl TV ads are funny but all other TV ads are boring -- they require a large up-front investment.

    The technology to finally create the web of trust exists: cell phones, NFC/barcode scanner on phone, push notification (to nag you to connect to nearby friends)

    The technology for more secure communication and authentication exists: smart cards (not yet compatible with cell phones)

    There is clearly not a need yet for users to join the web of trust.
