This week has been an eventful week starting with the blood moon, to software giant opening up about Windows 10 spying allegations to, Snowden opening a twitter account, confirmation of the existence of water at Mars, the announcement and launch of Google's iconic Nexus 5x and 6p and Uganda's Constitutional court dealing a death blow to a 2010 case about members of parliament.
That aside technology continues to boom with new strides being made in artificial intelligence, as competition rages on especially in telecom companies and software companies with the latest being the confirmation of Microsoft using Linux to power her activities.
Talking of Linux, security has always been her strength but research states sooner than later Linux will be more vulnerable to attacks though the attacks maybe very specific, they may still be as stealthy as the Microsoft Windows attacks. The few efficient attacks at present are basically DDOS, bot nets with the latter being the most common attack. But all hope is not lost as new emerging technologies promise better and more efficient secure ways of using the operating system.
It should be noted that the only way to stop spying and snooping is building your own tools, or breaking the original tools for your benefit.
