I GUESS McAFEE'S SOFTWARE IS OUT OF DATE


So John McAfee had some sort of heart attack while in police custody in Guatemala. I am not one to laugh at other people's misfortunes but really this has a bit of comedy in it. I say it has comedy in it provided you have a somewhat dark and twisted sense of humor.

McAfee was found on the floor of the "cottage" or holding area heis in while awaiting deportation to Belize. As of the last three or four weeks the software pioneer has been on the run because he is a person of interest in the murder of Gregory Faull. I think that McAfee really violated the principles of his creation on this one.

Over a 23 day period McAfee blogged and tweeted about his days on the run. I find this kind of ironic as it was his software that taught us never to leave our PCs opened to possible malware. The man that invented a form of security exposed himself like a streaker in a Manchester United football game. The stress must have really taken a toll on him as he was found on the floor silent and motionless.

I wonder if McAfee really comitted the murder or knows about how it went down. I hate to speculate as to how it may have gone down but I will anyway. I think it was a hot nigh in Belize and McAfee and Faull were playing a game of Dominoes and drinking delicious sambucas while splitting some wonderful cantinpalo chorizo cut to perfection. The two men were having a conversation when Faull's Iphone rang. When silencing the phone McAfee said "That phone is so gay." Faull responded to McAfee by saying " At least I don't need your shitty ripoff software in my mac." Enraged and full of hot sambuca McAfee decided to go ahead and strike Faull in the eye socket with an unusually sharp domino. Finding himself invincible in a moment of true hubris McAfee yelled "McAfee can protect you but no one protects you from McAfee."

Realizing what he had done Mcafee picked up his green tea pills, bloody domino, and laptop and immeadiately called for his trusty hang glider known in Belize as The Bonzo and glided into the safety of a cave where he then took refuge for two days where he carefully thought up a plan to go to Guatemala. While on hte run he decided to light a firewall inside his house and blog like a madman. Everything was fine for McAfee until he got a "Your software is out of date message."

This is all humorous speculation but the truth of the matter is that McAfee is in the kind of situation that no one ever wants to be in. In his shoes I am sure that anyone else would want to die. Itwill be interesting to see how this whole situation pans out.
