John McAfee is apparently still thinking of ways to change how we access
the internet. Speaking during the C2SV conference on Saturday, McAfee
detailed plans for a new device capable of creating small peer-to-peer
networks with encryption to block NSA surveillance, reports San Jose
Mercury News<http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_24198989/john-mcafee-reveals-details-gadget-thwart-nsa>
(via The Verge<http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/30/4786008/john-mcafee-d-central-device-avoid-nsa-private-network>
).

The small, round device--called D-Central--will supposedly cost less than
$100. The current design will create a private network of about three city
blocks in range, capable of moving around and allowing access to permitted
iPhones, Android phones, and other devices while thwarting government
agencies from accessing the data. "There will be no way [for the
government] to tell who you are or where you are," said McAfee.

Last year, McAfee was involved in a well-publicized manhunt, as Belizean
officials attempted to extradite him from Guatemala in order to question
him over the murder of his neighbor. After allegedly faking a heart attack,
McAfee was eventually deported to the United States. During Saturday's
presentation, the millionaire and founder of the anti-virus software which
bears his name acknowledged D-Central could be used for criminal
activity. "It will of course be used for nefarious purposes, just like the
telephone is," said McAfee.

A countdown clock has started on the D-Central
page<http://www.futuretensecentral.com/>,
with an apparent launch date 174 days out.
