Burt Gummer User ID: 2721915 United States 10/06/2011 07:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I dont get the whole concept of integrated laptop webcams. How can i be sure no one is watching me? You gotta admit its not crazy to think that someone might hack into your camera and be able to watch you, considering the capabilities of skilled hackers. The whole idea of having a camera facing you every time you use the computer just screams "BIG BROTHER!!!11" to me. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1549887 You can't be sure....and they COULD do it. Schools have been caught and SUED for spying with laptop software cams. Here's your best protection against that. You can cover all kinds of things with it..... [link to video1.break.com] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2642766 guess you're right.. people complain about public surveillance cameras but they think its fine that everyone walks around with fancy cameras in their phones available to them all the time so that they can film anyone who is not behaving normal and upload it to youuuuuutube for the whole fucking world to see. They turned us into the all seeing eye and we are too fucking stupid to realize it. |
