Just some random thoughts about the Meaning of Life, The Universe, and Everything

A lot of vulnerabilities, some cybercrime stuff and a serious privacy concern on Xiaomi phones.

Let’s start again with the “Weekly roundup”: what happened this week?

“Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important” – Bill Gates

“It’s dangerous when people are willing to give up their privacy.“ – Noam Chomsky

“If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked. What’s more, you deserve to be hacked”  ― Richard Clarke

“Technology is best when it brings people together” – Matt Mullenweg

”A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all. They’ll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves, an unrecorded unanalyzed thought. And that’s a problem because privacy matters. Privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be.” – Edward Snowden

“It’s funny to us as we’re so used to worms and viruses being bad news rather than making the world a better place.“ – Graham Cluley

“If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy.” – Philip Zimmermann

“First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn numbers into letters with ASCII — and we thought it was a typewriter. Then we discovered graphics, and we thought it was a television. With the World Wide Web, we’ve realized it’s a brochure.” 
― Douglas Adams
