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.
