John McAfee wants to sell you a $100 gadget that blocks NSA

During a recent chat at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, Antivirus software founder John McAfee unveiled plans to create a gadget called the D-Central which he claims can keep your information safe from the National Security Agency.

The gadget, which McAfee wants to sell for less than $100, would communicate with smartphones, tablets and notebooks to create a decentralized network that couldn’t be accessed by government agencies. Specifically, it would create a small private network that would act as a “dark web” where users could communicate and share files privately.

"The device would have a wireless range of about three blocks and those in range would be able to communicate with each other."

So it's like 2 tin cans & a string but without the string

Share files over a 3-block range?? From a practicality standpoint, that sounds more like the return of the sneaker net.

Oh, and desktop users aren't interested in blocking NSA? How quaint.

John seems to be quite serious this time 'round.

I am hoping he is serious, though I still like his video to watch from now and then.
