People should not fear their governments; governments should fear their people.

IT actually concerned about security

‘Microsoft We Don’t Feel So Good About’.

David Gelles and Richard Waters, in a piece titled “Google Ditches Windows on Security Concerns” in the Financial Times:

New hires are now given the option of using Apple’s Mac
computers or PCs running the Linux operating system. “Linux is
open source and we feel good about it,” said one employee.
“Microsoft we don’t feel so good about.”

I wish the “security” company I worked for had that much sense. Unfortunately, they make it as hard to get Mac (or Linux) machines as Google has made it to get Windows. And since the Powers That Be decided to “outsource” our entire IT department to a company that manufactures Windows PCs, I don’t expect that to change any time soon.
