Problems since Oct 2015 and the action unexpected? see 1)

> We hope it was not calculated to create uncertainty and doubt within the Internet community about our SSL/TLS certificates.

Symantec took no ownership of the issue. Snarky underhanded remarks are not a professional way to address shortcomings in managing their product.

> For example, Google’s claim that we have mis-issued 30,000 SSL/TLS certificates is not true. In the event Google is referring to, 127 certificates – not 30,000 – were identified as mis-issued, and they resulted in no consumer harm.

Per Chrome's team an initial set of reportedly 127 certificates has expanded to include at least 30,000 certificates, issued over a period spanning several years see 2)

Summary: No ownership and no action plan conveyed in Symantec's 421 word message.

Thank you for stepping up and making a difference.

Hi!

So we're at $91,028 Of our $240,000 goal..

We have 24 hours to go and the campaign will not be extended - this is an all-or-nothing campaign.

This is it - right now, we need a miracle.

We DO still have 24 hours. And we DO have 462 amazing and awesome people who care enough to have contributed to the campaign. As well as those who have joined our mailing list and liked our Facebook page recently. Most of the contributions on the campaign so far are small ones, but even the small ones make a really big difference when there's enough of them.

But today we're asking: are you our miracle?

Can you send our campaign to someone who can get it more coverage? Do you know someone who might be able to buy a prototype?

Are you the one that can get us funded today?

Here's the link to our campaign - http://igg.me/at/ogotech

Either way, we'll be in touch after we close to let you know what's happening next.

Hoping for a miracle,

-Kevin and the Ogo team

Simple does not seem to have that condition.

Waldorf Astoria in NY was one of their big purchases

They were bidding on Starwood Hotels http://www.reuters.com/article/us-starwood-hotels-m-a-anbang...

Fidelity Life is also theirs http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-09/anbang-to-...

Cracked me up :D

You did receive harsh RTFM comments (stark contrast with the tone of the comments on this thread).

Glad that you can see your work corroborated.

Before being appointed director of the NIH, Collins led the Human Genome Project and other genomics research initiatives as director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)

So we should consider Francis Collins & James Watson "research parasites"?

Without their own analysis of other researcher's data the double helix would not have been discovered.

You cannot control information/data just because you gathered it. Pick up your marbles because you do not like what your pears concluded?

Science is based on reproducibility and peer review.

Peer review without full access to data is a fallacy.
