Not only was he a prick, but his understandings of electrical components was laughable. The digital switch has one purpose and one purpose only. To clear the bandwidth up for RFID technology. Now whether that's for a future implant or other RFID technology is what is up for debate. |

Thoughts, anyone? No; I don't believe you're paranoid. On android phones, Google GPS is apparently enabled by default and can't be un-enabled without hacking the ROM. Why would a private corporation need access to your location? Are they listening to your mic? Are they watching thru the camera? My android phone actually sent my private data to google (synced) without permission. I no longer use an android phone. I think the apple phones are probably worse from what I've heard. Any know for sure? It appears that people are willing to give up all kinds of private data if you throw in enough bells and whistles. It does not bode well for the future. |

Burt Gummer User ID: 989406 United States 02/03/2011 05:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are digital devices actually MONITORING devices? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1248986You have to assume ALL digitally "connected" devices have the potential for monitoring. You work from that basic premise. The iPhone and Google's Android phone would be at THE VERY TOP of that list....but all cell phones can be "modified" by software updates remotely....without your knowing. |

Like are you still there? what difference does it make??.. and you have to hit the select button to keep it on that channel.. Now that's real weird. |

They are of course. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1170013Anyone remember the X-Files episode "Wetwired"? If you haven't seen it, go see it! "The truth is out there" i.e. it's right there in your face as you watch. "After a man kills three people and his wife because he mistook them for a ruthless Bosnian dictator, Mulder and Scully discover a test involving mind control using television signals that make people's worst fears become real in any form."

Yeah I read that - but it was something I thoughtof a loooong time ago, well before Digital/Satellite TV was mainstream. Freaky Stuff... Sometimes, just to express myself, I shoot the bird at the TV. I've debated on whether or not to put cellotape over the built-in digicam (which I NEVER use but had no option, upon purchase) on my laptop. Thanks for the support...it's nice to know I'm not the only "KrAyZeEe WunN" up in heah... |
