I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:
(CNN) -- Most of the big tech companies implicated in the ongoing controversy over secret government Web surveillance insist they turned over data about users to the National Security Agency only after being compelled by court orders.

But a new report claims that Microsoft willingly collaborated with the NSA and even allowed federal agents to circumvent the company's own encryption system to spy on users' messages.

Really??

Wow. I would never have known. [/sarcasm] given the "NSAkey" found in their software in 1999! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSAKEY

Also seems to be some kinda hardware base backdoor in most Android devices, although when Gerry tried explaining this to me he lost me in the first ten seconds - the boy is smart but goddamn he needs a translator to talk to the normals.

Anyhows, he's pickin it to bits and we'll see what we will see, given that I suspect the insecure token stuff from 2011 wasn't no accident neither.

You know what does seem to be secure and damned uncooperative with jackboots ?
Blackberry.
Not wholly sure why this is, again, the explaination was beyond me.
