The answer in these things is always simple. Vote with your wallet. If you do not like their practices, don't use their services. Sometimes standing up for your beliefs, holding fast to your morals, showing true character come at a cost but isn't there always a price for freedom and your privacy?

Talk the talk or walk the walk.

Toshiba packs NUMERIC KEYPAD onto self-bricking USB drive

Re: CBC mode is not considered best practice any more

Look at the http://www.apricorn.com/ site. This Toshiba rebranded one is the OLD version. There is a newer USB3.0 model that is much better. Not sure why no one did so much as a Google Image Search before writing this article but, like the device, it's been rebranded and reprinted by a few blog sites.

There are newer, better options than this. http://www.apricorn.com/

Nexus 6 would have had a fingerprint reader, but Apple RUINED IT ALL

NoOneSpecific

I am not a fan of APPLE or their products with their curated garden...

...but it sounds to me like Google or Motorola should have bought AuthenTec if they were that interested in using their tech. Instead, APPLE beat them to it and they lost out.

Ya snooze. Ya lose!

Windows 10's 'built-in keylogger'? Ha ha, says Microsoft – no, it just monitors your typing

NoOneSpecific

If this is included in the final release, it'll be the Final Release

I think it's safe to conclude that if this keylogging "feature" stays beyond the development stage and into the Final Release version that this will be, for many, the final release. What corporation would willingly and knowingly accept the obvious liability that such an aggressive and inviting attack vector this "feature" represents?

Enough retailers are being targeted for their secure financial data as it is. No point in giving hackers and malware authors such a ripe target as this "feature" represents. Can you imagine a corporate R&D department doing any new product development on a machine running Windows 10? What about banks and financial services? Governments? You get the idea.

Not going to happen. MS might as well close it's doors if this is their intention for a final release.

Unless it's you making that claim, right? Nothing like keeping an open mind.

Re: I totally disagree

You might well be right but MOST people are just looking at the numbers and given that would look at something similar like the HTC One with it's Snapdragon 600 quad core and 2Gig etc., etc.
