Re: Hearken to Prophet McNealy
Take it in context. I was pointing out that we knew well over 35 years ago that privacy concerns would become a major issue. To the point that we tried to make end-to-end encryption the default for TCP/IP back in 1979ish ... but Vint Cerf, complying with the wishes of his bosses in the NSA at DARPA put the kibosh on it. McNealy, hardly a prophet (and a business major, not a techie), was just parroting what he had heard around campus as a grad student at Stanford.
