quotes from wired interview with Mike Lynn
"
WN: So this new version of the operating system that they're coming out
with, that's in beta testing.
Lynn: It's actually a better architecture ... but it will be less
secure.... That's why I felt it was important to make the point now
rather than sweep it under the rug. I think it's something that we can
fix....
"
"
But at the same time, now that I think they already are, I will say it's
not as bad as you probably think it is. Not yet ... because the version
that makes this an unstoppable critical problem is not out yet.
"
What exactly does this mean?
