First time submitter cykros writes: John McAfee announced his next product, "Cognizant", reported by Silicon Angle. An Android app, it aims to provide security for the mobile OS by taking a census of what permissions are granted to specific applications. Providing awareness of the extent of unnecessary and overreaching permissions, by McAfee's logic, will encourage users to delete or avoid installing apps with the most egregious of security issues. Let's hope it's easier to uninstall this one than the last major security product to bear his name. TFA: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/02/12/john_mcafee_cognizant_for_android/
