I am willing to overlook Gibson's flair for the dramatic, the occasional pimping of his products, and him being wrong on a few details. Name one site on the net that doesn't do those things. And most of his products he doesn't charge for - like the software he wrote to detect the WMF bug. I still find his dissection of internet and computer security issues very interesting and very useful.
I agree. He certainly appears to be trying to explain in simple terms the security issues that Internet users face. He doesn't charge for this, and he occasionally mentions Spinrite (which is how he makes his living, and which does work, regardless of what the naysayers say.) If someone can prove that he is spreading disinformation in his Podcast, then I'd be very interested in hearing it.
