Tech Refugee John McAfee Answers 9 Questions
Author: Gabe Hall
The Slashdot community tracked down notorious software legend and international man on the run John McAfee and asked him WTF was going on. Pictured here in his latest disguise.
Q:Do you still write code, perhaps for fun?
McAfee: I haven’t written code in 20 years. In truth I was a terrible programmer. At all the companies I worked at I did everything within my power to avoid coding tasks. I was just good enough though to be able to spot the truly outstanding programmers. At McAfee I hired the best and then stayed out of their hair. If I had been responsible for even a tiny amount of code I fear we would never have gotten off the ground.
Q:Did you really evade the police by dressing up in a speedo and screaming at people in German, as you describe here?
McAfee: I favor disguises that change character rather than looks when running from the police. The German Tourist disguise was terrific. I looked exactly like me but no-one searching for me paid me any mind. Here is another common disguise I used that would work for any well known CEO.
Q:If I understand correctly, this whole episode began because a local politician visited you in your home and he had the expectation (for whatever reason) that you would pay him USD $ 30,000 as some kind of protection money for his campaign and your expectation was that politicians are supposed to work for people and not the other way around. Is this a reasonable characterization? If so, how do you think such a large missmatch in expectations came about? Do you think you were overly naive? Or is the political environment in Belize changing? I can easily believe that this might be the normal expected way that people do business down there based on other things I've heard, but I really have no idea. Now that you've had time to reflect, what would you say was responsible for the conflict in the first place?
McAfee: Had it been $ 30,000 I would have paid it in an instant, ushered him out and then returned to my task of molesting the underage girls (as some would characterize them) populating my property.However it was not. It was $ 2 million.I am not naive and I expect politicians and public servants, in all countries, to do one thing only – everything in their power to annoy, delay and inconvenience me. At least that has been my experience with public servants. Perhaps yours is different. In any case, two million was not even in a negotiating arena and, not being someone prone to wasting time, I told him to fuck off and not to come back.
Q:If you had to relive the whole debacle, what would you do differently the second time around.
McAfee: Absolutely nothing. Everything that has happened has brought me to this present moment – and not a bad moment at all. You may view my life as chaotic, tragic, comical, whatever. From where I sit it's a great adventure and an unending mystery. I have no complaints.

Mystery LG smartphone spied with no front buttons, many unanswered questions
Author: Buck Howard
Hello, what’s this? While many of us were out enjoying the spring weather, @evleaks was busy posting photos of an unknown LG smartphone that, if real, represents a notable shift in the Korean company’s design language. The device shares the Nexus 4‘s slightly curvy outline and lack of front-facing hardware buttons, but appears to have a taller screen, a new speaker grille and a different sensor layout. It’s not very likely to be part of the Nexus program with that conspicuous LG logo at the front, but there are few other clues as to where it would fit in LG’s phone family — is it an Optimus G sequel, an Optimus LTE2 follow-up, or something entirely fresh? We may well see more of this mystery hardware in the near future, though, and there’s already a close-up of the top bezel to be found after the break.

Elop throws an iPhone on Finnish TV, refuses to answer Lumia 928 questions
Author:
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop faced some tough questions from a Finnish TV presenter this week, focusing on the upcoming Lumia 928 handset. In a show aired on commercial TV station MTV3 in Finland, Elop is repeatedly questioned about when the company plans to introduce its Lumia 928 Verizon flagship handset. Elop claims he doesn’t know what the Lumia 928 is because the company hasn’t announced it, before trying to divert the questioning to the recently launched Lumia 620.
The presenter is equally persistent, and decides to show he has an iPhone. “Oh, how embarrassing,” jokes Elop, while the presenter explains he doesn’t want an iPhone, he wants a Nokia phone. “I’ll take care of that,” says Elop, before launching the phone onto a floor with a…

Sudden death of American engineer in Singapore raises questions
Author: Mark Jeffries
Shane Todd’s girlfriend discovered him hanging in his Singaporean apartment 6 months ago, a abrupt tragedy that local authorities deemed a self-destruction. But six months later, Todd’s girlfriend, family and the FBI are still wondering exactly what exactly took place. Todd had actually simply put in his last day as an employee of IME, a Singaporean government research institute, where he had actually been working on a high-powered amplifier with commercial and “big” military uses. The amplifier was being co-developed with the Chinese telecom giant Huawei. Todd’s moms and dads say their son was increasingly uneasy at his job and “said there were things he had done that could get him in trouble with the United States government.” The Singaporean examination is still continuous. However after …

YouTube brings interactive quizzes to videos with Questions Editor beta
Author: Markus Smith
Feel like something’s missing from your YouTube watching experience– like some good ‘ol multiple-choice questions? The chronic students amongst us will be pleased to hear that the website is testing an interactive– and potentially educational– feature that lets users add quizzes to their clips. A new web page on the YouTube website describes a “Video Questions Editor Beta,” which lets channel owners display multiple-choice questions on top of their videos as they play. The web page is pretty blank at the second, but the beta is up and running for those who choose in. Don’t get too energized, though: YouTube’s disclaimer states the function “represents work in progression,” and “there is no plan for lasting support of the attribute. “
