| 1391193 | 2014-12-29 21:12:00 | www.stuff.co.nz Love the bit "Although Key has likened Cortex to "Norton AntiVirus" in an effort to distinguish it from a tool of mass surveillance" |

| 1391194 | 2014-12-29 21:50:00 | The whole article is a huge question really, a few sentences above the point of THE DOTCOM SAGA Hmmmmmm He says he "genuinely doesn't know" whether Cortex would protect organisations from the destructive malware allegedly produced by North Korea that has ravaged Sony Pictures, and which is now gaining almost as much notoriety as Stuxnet . ---------Nor is Fletcher making any promises about how effective Cortex will be at all . Nor will he say how much Cortex is costing . Read as going to cost millions of tax payers money, and like a lot of things - a total waste of money /stuff up . :groan: |

Can't see the Powers That Be being to keen to endorse it though? Interesting solution :) Mind you the majority of people don't know how data travels about the internet, as far as most are concerned they click a link and it appears / Happens, how it got there is a complete mystery. Its actually quite interesting How the internet works - Or doesn't in some cases ;) |

| 1391198 | 2014-12-30 23:03:00 | " GCSB and Nortons " A pair of cumbersome, expensive things that claim to give security. Neither provides much for the payer except inconvenience and interference with daily life plus reassuring fantasy messages saying how great the product is. No doubt it provides a secure financial stream to the providers but it is moot whether either of these parasites is better than that which they claim to protect the user from. |
