Re: Whitedust article, Tor USB Product



An associated article on OSNews points to a new tor-based embedded Linux-on-USB-stick product called  Tor Desktop: Virtual Privacy Machine (http://www.virtualprivacymachine.com/products.html). It sells for $45, and this might be a convenient option for some people, especially those who are less technically adept and/or who have to use public or work computers that they can't/aren't allowed to install programs or or reconfigure.
    Thoughts?

I know this is an old article
(http://www.whitedust.net/article/28/Tor:%20The%20Ying%20or%20the%20Yang?/)
but I just now read it for the first time...

Looks like torizens get a bad rep to start out with, so we have a lot of
ground to make up.

What do you think?

Is tor just a fast way to bounce connections for crackers?
Or do we have a seriously powerful tool for everyone on both sides of the
line here?
Where do you think the future of tor lies?

Note: This is an attempt to start an actual conversation. So don't
misinterpret my intentions or anything.
