5. "Nuke from orbit" is still the best approach to a rooted system. See http://serverfault.com/a/218011/7783 I've talked about this in the Server Fault answer above, and I might do another post diving into some of the details behind my beliefs here but the drive to rebuild after getting a system compromised comes down to trust. For an illustration of why I use that word, please read "reflections on trusting trust"

We’ve been migrating from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 at work. One very interesting part of SCCM 2012 for us has been the support for Mac OSX that was added in SCCM 2012 SP1. We have about 70 Mac clients, I guess, on top of about 1500 Windows clients, and those 70 clients need a dis-proportionate amount of time to manage, not because of any problems with Mac OSX as such, but rather due to the lack of real tools available to manage a large desktop roll-out.

Ok. So apparently Sergey Brin (seen here with an entire computer strapped to his face) thinks we should spend less time just “standing around rubbing this…"(smartphone/tablet)”…featureless piece of glass". He said this with an entire computer strapped to his face, covering his eyes. He seems to feel smartphones are “emasculating” somehow. Not sure about that myself, but I’d love to hear him explain why a smartphone or tablet is more emasculating than, say, having an entire computer strapped to your face.
