| Burt Gummer User ID: 7702124 United States11/17/2012 08:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.nbcnews.com] Quoting: Ralph--a house dog Samsung’s 2012 top-of-the-line plasmas and LED HDTVs offer new features never before available within a television including a built-in, internally wired HD camera, twin microphones, face tracking and speech recognition. While these features give you unprecedented control over an HDTV, the devices themselves, more similar than ever to a personal computer, may allow hackers or even Samsung to see and hear you and your family, and collect extremely personal data. While Web cameras and Internet connectivity are not new to HDTVs, their complete integration is, and it's the always connected camera and microphones, combined with the option of third-party apps (not to mention Samsung's own software) gives us cause for concern regarding the privacy of TV buyers and their friends and families. continued at [link to www.nbcnews.com] :serfdomrd: |

Does anyone know why a cable box would turn on internally when a person enters the room? I have been logging this activity for 2 months. I'm afraid of coming across as paranoid, so I just ignore it, but it did the same thing to my daughter today. Guess I am just a weirdo.  Ignorance is bliss until reality bites you in the ass. I take care of the dead...always. |

Quoting: FatalW1shes Is that paranoid? How do I disable the built in mic? And, no, I don't think it's paranoid. About a year ago, I was turning on my laptop and noticed that my camera (built in webcam) flashes twice after it boots up to the desktop. I always thought that was strange, and so, maybe I'll just be paranoid with ya  |
