Everybody has a hacking capability. And probably every intelligence service is hacking in the territory of other countries. But who exactly does what? That would be a very sensitive piece of information. But it’s very difficult to communicate about it. Because nobody wants to admit the scope of what they’re doing.

I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it’s the government.

Security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit; your machine can be taken over totally.

I get more spam than anyone I know.
