John McAfee Answers Questions From Slashdot Readers

Almost certainly the most entertaining thing you’ll read today. A taste:

I haven’t been involved with McAfee anti-virus for 21 years. When I ran the company the software was the best and least intrusive on the market, and in 1991 we had 87% of the world market. What happened after I left was none of my doing. As to name association, I am a master at sullying my own name and, all things considered, being associated with the worst software on the planet ranks way down the pole. It’s barely a blip in the ocean of associations — madman, paranoid, child molester, murderer, drug addict, unstable, liar, to name but a few. Thank god I’m 67 and will probably be too hard of hearing soon enough to have to listen to them rattling around wherever I go. Amy, thankfully, did half the job already by bursting my left eardrum when she tried to shoot me in the head while I slept back in 2011.
