Crying 'havoc' crying 'wolf' or just howling at the moon?

摘要

I had thought of several other names for this article: "chicken Little in the IT undergrowth" and "The Computer Security Company that cried: 'the End of the Internet', so you can probably already see where this article is going. A less enter- Taining, but probably far more descriptive and appropriate, title might have been "Responsible Behaviour in an Irresponsible World." The computer industry is beginning to get a public reputation for producing horridly doom-laden statements which turn out to have no basis in reality. Please note, this is my opinion of the public perception, not an appropriate and accurate analysis of the truth.
