Very Wishful Thinking.
Wired had this right. http://www.wired.com/2015/10/meet-walking-dead-hp-cisco-dell-emc-ibm-oracle/
As Bloomberg Business feature writer, Elon Musk biographer, and unparalleled Silicon Valley hack Ashlee Vance puts it: “Why don’t IBM, HP, EMC, Dell and Cisco all merge and get this thing over with?”
What is this conundrum? Well, we’ll let Vance explain that too. When someone asked what we should call that IBM-HP-EMC-Dell-Cisco merger, his response was wonderfully descriptive. He suggested we call the company Fucked By The Cloud.

The Clowns are Exposing Themselves
The sheer stupidity of this 'debate' is mind numbing. The only thing these clowns will achieve is a reduction in security for your average person on the web. Terrorists and career criminals already use encryption. They understand its value. That encryption is freely available using open source tools and code. It is accessible for whomever wants it. The idea that it can be controlled is risible. Our elected officials, many public officials and many in the IT industry are so far out of their depth on this one it is a joke.
