Privacy, Security, Encryption I am a "Technologist", a Technology enthusiast that is usually the one that is called should a major catastrophe strike an end user. My saga of computer rescues becomes a plot that is ever so thickening, if not only for the fact that's it's becoming incredibly easy for hackers and malicious code writers these days to invade personal property to find, seek, and destroy. Each year, virus and hacker threats increase, and in addition the damage trail left behind is something of a problem. Not to forget, a majority of "PC Panic" cases I've come across are often times the same common, "major" problem.

That's all well and good if companies (not mentioning any names) would make it so you could trust that you were actually getting a security patch AND ONLY a security patch! Sometimes I feel I need more security from non-disclosed OS maker than from the evil-doers of the net!
