Wow....

According to the complaint cited by Courthouse News, he was visited at work by government investigators who adopted a "good cop/bad cop" approach when communicating with Kantor. Mr Kantor says in his complaint that the "bad cop" allegedly made "anti-Semitic comments repeatedly over the course of five months”.

He alleges government officials also monitored his book purchases and home computer; on top of this, they secretly attached a GPS antenna to his car to track him.

Meanwhile, his coworkers would allegedly "repeat back Kantor's private information, including emails, websites he went to, library books he got from the library, conversations he made in his house or in his car, phone calls, information about the contents of his house…"

According to Kantor, these conversations were camouflaged death threats which he took to the Anti-Defamation League, but received no help whatsoever. On the contrary, he claims, the move only provoked more threats from the government, as well as a stream of never-ending harassment at work.

"If Kantor ever got angry after his private information was repeated back (by slamming a cabinet or typing loudly on his computer), the [subcontractor] CRGT and Northrop Grumman employees would tell the same story about how there was a neighbor in their community who seemed like such a nice guy, but then went on a murder suicide," the complaint stated.

Eventually, Kantor was fired from Appian, but allegedly received the same treatment in other firms he worked for.

This shit is why it seems laughably stupid to me that anybody would continue to use Google, Microsoft, Apple, Dropbox or Skype as a primary element in their lives. I use Google Search and I read Google News. AT WORK. I use Microsoft Office products like Word and Powerpoint

Did it! (again). This time, Im never going back. I can still use Windows when I need it, in neat, isolated little cages (virtual machines) that only get used when I need to use a Windows product. But as you know, Linux has alternatives for just about everything and it's all FREE!

Why wont the sheeple just try it using a LiveCD session? No risk at all.

I'm finding Linux Mint a very pleasant experience as a desktop OS. The Software Manager has nearly every possible open source software package conceivable for the regular user. I opened it up and installed Libre Office in a single click. I don't have to go scavenging for open source software then download and compile the source or manually install some obscurely compiled binary package. It's all there right from the official Ubuntu repository.
