Conflicts of interest, again. Nice
Conflicts of interest, again. Nice piece in the S.F.Gate this morning about McAfee’s self-serving hype on computer virus alerts. I wonder why the media is quick to jump on private sector self-serving hype while ignoreing government agencies’ self-serving hype? Personally, the private companies’ hype is a little less offensive since I know they’re in business to make money and I believe in the free market’s ability to weed out companies that are pure hype. Government hype, on the other hand, is very offensive, since taxes are being paid to provide a service and there is no real competition to expose their self-serving fluff.
