There is (conceivably) a remedy available under Copyright Law. Many "Internet of Things" devices (in particular, network cameras) run (at least some) libraries that were licensed under the GNU LGPL. One of the conditions of the LGPL is that users be able to - at will - replace the device's LGPL'd libraries with their own version (with the same API). If these devices do not have such an 'upgrade' mechanism available (and I suspect that few, if any, do), then they could find themselves legally liable.
If the device manufacturers feel that they're at legal risk here, then this may motivate them to make their products more easily updatable in the future.
Don't just stop at Google. Add the following to your hosts (e.g.,/etc/hosts) file to stymie all sorts of mysterious 3rd-party tracking and advertising services:
It would be interesting to see the corresponding data from developed Southern Hemisphere nations (e.g., Australia, New Zealand, Argentina). Are underachieving children in such countries more likely to have been born in June-August (the cold months) or in January-March (the same as in the US)? And how does the education level of the mothers correlate with this?
I wish people would 'master' "cat" enough to know when *not* to use it. For example, I'm tired of seeing
cat filename | application
instead of (shorter, and more efficient):
application < filename
Yes, this app (iRecord) is great, and does indeed let you record the digital MPEG-2 Transport Stream directly from the STB. Unfortunately, though, for some HD channels (at least on my cable provider: Comcast, Mountain View, CA), the Transport Stream is encrypted, and so while you can record it to a file, you can't play the resulting file.
Strangely, with my provider, CBS's HD channel is encrypted, but NBC, ABC, and Fox's are not. While I can record and play NBC, ABC, Fox's HD channel, for CBS I have resort to recording their standard def channel only.
People who are truly 'in the know', who value having control over their own time, don't make interrupt channels available to the world. They don't use IM, and don't even answer phone calls (instead, leaving all incoming calls to go to an answering machine/voice mail).
For the top tier people, email is the modus operandi:-)

Even more unfortunately, his father had Alzheimer's Disease - which tends to run in the family.
Anyone who calls a Domain Name an "Internet Address" probably doesn't know very much about either.

You don't need anything more.
Seriously. You don't need anything more.
Make me president and I'll switch that $5B from corn
And then watch as you get your butt kicked in the Iowa caucuses, killing your chance of getting reelected.
Sad, but true...

Bowen is on the Pacific coast. "Outback" means the Australian *interior*.
Ross.
I wish people would 'master' "cat" enough to know when *not* to use it. For example, I'm tired of seeing

...because it will constantly be contacting Earth to ask for help :-)
"San Francisco does not have hurricanes or tropical storms as the water around it is too shallow to hold all the energy."
Too *cold*, not too shallow.
I agree. Serious professionals do *not* use "@gmail.com" email addresses. Sorry, they just don't. Ditto for "@yahoo.com", "@hotmail.com" etc.
If you don't want to look like a noob, then don't use "@gmail.com" email addresses.
...I will never use GMail for my own email.

This warning notice appears in the instruction manual for a LCD TV (a Sony KDL40XBR2) that I bought recently.
I don't know whether the iPod will ever go away, but I hope those losers who think that grey text on a black background is 'cool' will go away.
(Note that it was only the domain name that changed. The Open Source RTSP/RTP streaming software is still ours, not Microsoft's :-)
IMHO, an even more memorable line from that song is "I've been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding".
Yet another misguided company that thinks that "The Internet" == "The World-Wide Web".
for knowing (unlike most Americans, it seems) that thw word "scone" rhymes with "gone" :-)
