Following Intel's announcement that it's phasing out the McAfee branding from its antivirus software, John McAfee tells Reuters he's glad the company made the decision. In a telephone interview with the news agency, McAfee is quoted as saying, "I've been begging them to drop the brand or fix the product," adding that he regrets the software currently has his name. "I am who I am. I'm sorry I live on the edge and enjoy life and don't care what people think of me."

Not sure if I should find it funny that he is the one re-leaved the name is not associated with him or not. I am surprised it took them this long to re-brand it after all the things he has been up to.

But you gotta love Intel...


"Hey I don't like how you guys are maintaining my namesake software, if you won't fix all the brokenness then can you just rebrand it please?"

"NO! We want to take advantage of the name recognition of this no-longer-top-shelf product! That's why we bought your company a few years ago!"

"Okay, ummm... Hey look at the way I am making fun of your product! And hey since it is me, the guy who started the company, look at how viral my mockery is, and what others are now realizing about your product, and the bad things they are all agreeing about it!"

"Rebranding confirmed!"
