The president's computer security adviser asked technology executives Tuesday for a shopping list of changes, including bundled security software for high-speed Internet users and a new way to get software updates on personal computers. Richard Clarke told software companies that their responsibility doesn't end when they fix a hole in their products that could let hackers in. ... ``It is not beyond the wit of this industry to force patches down'' to users, Clarke said.
Does anyone want to guess how long it will take to translate Clarke's admonition into a requirement that government and businesses have the right to remotely access your computer system for the sake of "national security"?
