... and this acticle: US and UK spy agencies defeat privacy and security on the internet actually scares me a bit :-/

"The document reveals that the agency has capabilities against widely used online protocols, such as HTTPS, voice-over-IP and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used to protect online shopping and banking"

As Bruce Schneier, an encryption specialist and fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society states in the article: "By deliberately undermining online security in a short-sighted effort to eavesdrop, the NSA is undermining the very fabric of the internet."

There is much truth in that - if US and UK spy agencies can do it, so can several other much more scarey organisations, working in the darker cornors of the Internet :-(

Maybe we will have to revert back to the real world, and actually meet face to face with other people, when we want to socialize, trade, small-talk and in any other way interact with eachother... but hey - that might not be so bad after all :-P
