A word from a Microsoft official, from a story in today's NY Times: "Privacy Group Presents 'Orwell Awards' "One of the lighter moments at last week's Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference was the presentation of the First Annual Orwell Awards by the London-based organization Privacy International. . . . "The Electronic Privacy Information Center's policy director, David Banisar, disguised as the Angel of Death, accepted all but one of the awards on behalf of the absent winners. "But Saul Klein, Microsoft's group program manager for Web platform services, beat Banisar to the podium when Microsoft was named outstanding nominee for the 'People's Choice' category, joining the light but sarcastic mood to thank his parents and everyone else he could think of for their help in winning the award. "Klein ended the spoof awards ceremony on a more serious note, vowing that Microsoft would continue its cooperative efforts to insure consumers have the tools they need to protect their privacy in cyberspace. ============================= Certainly the opportunity to make that last statement was why Klein showed up at all.
