John McAfee

Dr. John McAfee - This software pioneer and father of antivirus needs little introduction. Once a prince of Silicon Valley and a contemporary of such iconic names such as Jobs, Bushnell and Wozniak, he removed himself to a life of seclusion, adventure and international controversy. His return to technology through the company he founded known as Future Tense Central has produced a number of standout efforts. Among them, his latest visions in the world of security and communications include secure messaging, mobile and computer privacy, encryption, and identity.

About Get McAfee'd
We have all lost freedom. Some more than others. What is left of freedom is all that we have, yet some would insist that they have nothing to hide and that intrusions on privacy are acceptable in exchange for conveniences or the perception of security. This erosion of privacy and the concept of freedom are more than polar opposites, they cannot exist at the same time. The truth that nobody cares more about the security of data than its owner is fallacious, because if the owner cared about the data, they would never have agreed to the terms of the data’s use. So the owner never really owned this data in the first place because of passive agreement to its use. We are all guilty of making this deal to some degree, but you can make a difference by protecting yourself and finding ways to secure your digital life. Take a stand. Visit FutureTenseCentral.com.
