Lead thinker Eugene Kaspersky over at  Kaspersky Labs has decided to raise the ever ready specter of the poor getting uppity.

We can’t send over end of life PCs to third world countries, he warns, because they’ll put them to nefarious ends like virus writing!

Not too much of the scare monger, eh?  Bet he even made a neat headline to go along with the press release…

Because there aren’t any jobs in the country, the Labs PR wonk reasons, they don’t have a legitimate use for computers and shouldn’t be getting them.  Or at least that’s what they’re intimating from this humble writers perspective.
Lovely logic, that.
