John McAfee doccie shows why boredom’s bad for innovators [Video]

Wondering why John McAfee, the anti-virus software pioneer turned murder suspect, has such a crazy air about him? Well, if a short documentary on the man is anything to go by, the answer is boredom.

Filmed by Journeyman pictures, the documentary tries to unravel some of McAfee’s activities in the South American country of Belize. What it suggests is that the 67-year-old McAfee, fuelled by a potent combination of ego and paranoia, allowed the innovative part of his mind turn to less noble pursuits than anti-virus software.
