As much as I've come to despise Apple The Infernal Company and Steve The Jobsian Monster, they collectively were certainly pure masters of the marketing game and know very well how to manipulate the masses.
No matter what anyone thinks of Jobs, he and his dastardly evil machine called Apple were certainly exceptionally good for the industry as a whole.
The fanbois can still hold their collective breath and wait for the announcement that this is just a bad hoax to generate publicity for the delayed iPhone 5 release.
Sure would erase all the concerns about the myriad problems with the iPhone 5...
EFF is broadcasting to all those who can listen that BitCoin is on the fast track to unwanted attention from the invisible government (those who control the "Federal" Reserve, not just those who jerk Obama's puppet strings).
EFF is not immune to the encroaching and insidious presence of US intelligence operatives within their staffing structure. (Just like any organization deemed pertinent to "national security" interests, e.g. state governments, financial institutions, the ACLU, etc.) They have a vital need-to-know directive as to who contributes to the EFF.

The existence of Operation Mockingbird suggests that 'Joshua Davis' may just be another government stooge operative trying to flush out the innovator(s) of this rational alternate currency. Such an act would signal the beginning of the full-scale propaganda war against BitCoin. I.e. by discrediting the creator.
What BitCoin really and truly needed yesterday is an adjunct:
A communication methodology whereby BitCoin can operate alternately over the Internet *and* also through it's own adhoc network comprised of both wifi routers and individual computers linked peer-to-peer. Something akin to a BitCoin VPN.
This will help to avoid the inevitable attacks by government (sovereign or shadow) upon BitCoin. Both obvious (arbitrary declaration of illegality, etc) and surreptitious (propaganda and slander, etc.)
