The fact the he even got involved in the leaks makes me think that its all a lie.

He could have done it like the FBI leak of the 70s but I don't know why he didn't

doubt_meon Footage released of Guardian editors destroying Snowden hard drives

I am getting sort of sick of this propaganda scheme that seems to be developing.

I honestly think this entire Snowden fiasco is a lie. Not some conspiracy stuff either. Its just to perfect + out of the 1% of the documents that have been released so far most of it was already public knowledge since the 90s. Now I obviously cannot prove that its all a lie and I sound stupid crazy right now so I am just going to leave this alone and see what happens once Snowden takes the Noble for doing his job.

doubt_meon Buying a laptop, check if it has nVidia Optimus, its purpose is infuriate you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence

Yes it is the result they want.

You can custom order a nice laptop if your willing to spend 800+ and not have to worry about getting a macbook

But at the same time I just looked up optimus and most of the new GPUs are listed as having it

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/optimus/supported...

I would generally avoid Nvidia until this optimus stuff gets enough press until they are forced to retire this or at least make it optional.

Or just wait until someone decides to start a class action lawsuit against them like how HP knowingly sold and entire family of defective Elite desktops

doubt_meon Just me or frequency of hacks going up?

Both.

The lack of security at lets say mac forums/ adobe/ inputs.io is unrealistically common.

Do you remember the Playstation network hack a while back? That was well reported

Things get hacked every day but the ones where hundreds of thousands of users information is involved that makes for a juicy tweet/ story = more clicks to whatever is reporting it

If you already formatted your laptop those viruses should be gone but if you think you have a rootkit

Scan with this tool called kaspersky anti rootkit TDSSKiller

http://support.kaspersky.com/us/5350#block1

If you find something delete it.

But just to be extra safe re flash your bios/ update it and then scan afterwards to see if anything pops up.
