Steve's long love affair with Windows, the Oracle/Google JAVA API lawsuit, the pending registration of "burner" phones, surveillance microphones found in public areas, John McAfee and team crack WhatsApp's encryption? The Ring Doorbell may need another update, a security-related Kickstarter which Security Now listeners would never fall for, a controversial feature being removed from Windows 10, a worrisome and exploitable heap corruption in the popular 7-Zip application and a look a the Z-Wave Home Automation system.

We invite you to read our show notes.
