"you can bump your mobile against someone's pocket "
This is a feature I won't enable on my Samsung S5 (piss poor phone), it just doesn't sound secure.
Even Bluetooth has the same flaw it had when it first came out. The trick was pulled on me recently so know it's an apparent feature. They even added a contact to my phone via Bluetooth.
One can sit in a mall and collect others contacts (for one) just by having Bluetooth on and passing a "collector", I've disabled Bluetooth again. Just like the first days of BlueTooth.
"...able to keep perfect time for five billion years."
If they were able to create a device that could actually keep the time for five billion years, perfect or not, I would be pretty damn impressed.
My first thought as well, would take a hell of a Radioisotope to generate power for that long. Wars and such would disrupt it's power after some time if not on an independent power supply.
But in the end due to the relativistic differences (Earth quakes and such); of anyone looking at the clock for the time it was started or past would make it useless - unless you did the math.
I have a Samsung 32" LCD (120Hz?)TV, which I only use as a computer monitor. I read each TOS that came along, it was the third one that you needed to accept to use it as a very nice TV; It mentioned monitoring and storing everything you do (sites visited, vids viewed, each key stroke, and well everything). Adding a camera to it (gestures) makes it what the XBOX started out as (watching everything) but was shouted down. Not a word about has really been mentioned about the smart TVs.
I quit there, I have no account (required to open it up fully), monitor only.
Everything is collected to alert you to something coming on your history collected indicates you might like - price was too high.
I'm sorry I don't write comments well but it doesn't stop me. I have many excuses but the truth is I should just stop posting. Sorry for wasting your time.
I can't quote your replies.some text problem but I do apologize Mr. Merlin; just today it hit me that a Xoom tablet was stolen by the same people; a lack of security on my part, I kept the wifi passwords the same. It was my fault for not changing passwords as soon as it was stolen.
As for Swat, well time will tell.
Geek Squad, I downloaded their private book on "how to fix computers" it was all common knowledge looking for problems, a waste of money and an embarrassment if they park in front of my place.
Purchasing a new computer; I feel tazers are useful for other things - I'm on a borrowed laptop at this time, no video card I own works, I figured my vid's were tazed. A new vid card almost demands a dual vid computer to me.
Time will tell how things work out. - to repeat when my laptop was stolen I neglect to change passwords, Just today it was a face slap moment -,a stupid security situation over looked on my part,
When the "Internet of things" became another M$ phrase I just thought cr*p, as I had to learn of it, to be safe. I like to be ahead of the game and a fairly good computer user till recently.
A story...
I use a ASUS R66U router and doing a whois, damn if Asuswrt-Merlin wasn't on my system; is was open to where I had my pants down on the Internet. Merlin did send me a note (to a private computer that had no web pages to view) to take care of the problem but his software was the cause.
Follow my post and see I supported and had open Internet lines, they were hacked and for two months my system belonged to someone else. Sometimes I could access it, other times nada, so kept it on for those up times and continued to contact Charter.com who suggested I might learn more or even call the Geek Squad, a slap in the face.
I even ordered another computer system from Newegg as mine was fairly dead, due to the free Internet users that took over my system.
Now this hacker found or added ( there's no telling but I might have to explain that to a court) that offended them so they reported me to 911, I had Swat looking for my drives that I hid earlier as the hacker himself bragged so much he posted his name, I had him for slander -Swat, I have no clue what they were looking for. I was a neutral in my own house and watched Swat search my place (very professional).
No charges yet but time will tell.
My story is to say you must be better now, your systems are hackable; this thermostat is controlled by your computer, so from thermostat to computer.
Be better, I had never been hacked till this time (35 years) and had no clue - maybe Asuswrt-Merlin was watching for a hole, I had damn threads on my system and Merlin's job was to block their entry. He lost I don't trust his software anymore.
At one point I claimed I wanted nothing to do, nor need of a cloud storage.
Dude told me I have the wrong impression of cloud storage, going on to tell me the basics of cloud storage, I just turned and left him, I had no more use for him.
There's an old urban legend about a guy leaving the driver's seat of an RV (on cruise control) to use the bathroom. Personally I've never believed it, but it does serve to illustrate something about expectations.
My story was setting the cruise control on the RV on a straight section of road to fix themselves a drink, which of course the van crashed.
First part says "According to the user, there’s a small window of opportunity to minimise the damage. That is, if you can backup files faster than the program encrypts them."
Then buried where many don't wonder (towards the end, it mentions "1) Power off the DiskStation immediately to avoid more files being encrypted"
I would think the wise thing would be to exchange the location of the two sentences. least you have some would be hero actually try to find where to start saving at.
Be it a cell phone or Camera, at first I and others found humor in the question, but the more I think bout it the more sense it makes.
Case in point, your not going to wear in on your waist during a football game. -My new phone I even asked for a shoulder holster for my new phone as it's large and prone to gravity thefts. Yes they found humor in it as well but I'll be looking for a nice comfortable one in the mean time.
Mainly because it's the first asking for access(Windows), I just no everything out. One of the largest security holes around and it's still fully active.
Give up complete computer security because I want music to play seconds before I could do it myself.
Can't interest them in facts baffle em with bull sh!t.
As far as I know MS still holds the patent to smiley faces, the fact they have been around since the keyboard made no difference..
A rock "rolling" downhill has the same features of a wheel, when it hits and kills someone can I patent a new weapon? I'll make much mention of the fact it was revolving to maintain accuracy.
A sling doesn't require a rock/stone to spin, in fact can't really pull it off.
I've never really cared for it, in my area it could be taken for type of a cherry, but of little fact. Now MapPoint that is a search engine name. Google not forgotten with a name selected for what can only be called it's prime directive.
Not forgotten is also the daughter of the mathematician who sued to have that word (Google) back in his memory, I'm sorry but it is a good site name). They did your Dad good, take solstice in that.
The fact Google will control the world in a matter of years should add the cherry. The statement is a matter of the Google glasses that can read Pin Numbers.
I've believe something like the big foot or more importantly the abominable snow man for many years now.
Due to Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, also known as the Andes flight disaster, in South America, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1... this was a rugby team that crashed and survived close to two months, on a snow whipped mountain top.
The big deal about this crash is they had to eat the dead to live. The book (which I read) mentions two large "ape like creatures were that were "busy" in the route they were taking to get down so they diverted. They tried to wait them out but grew tired of waiting so circled around them. It sounded like they ("apes") were waiting for the survivor out of curiosity.
They might of of been called abominable snow men in the book but there was no real clue what they were other than very large, ape looking beings (given bears they could of been).
Do you have any idea how much a pill that cures baldness would be worth? After erectile dysfunction that's like the holy grail of the pharmaceutical industry
I think anti-balding would be more popular since it would improve the chances of getting the women to pay attention in the first place.
LOL, Balding says ones testosterone is very high. lots of hair, ones testosterone is very low. I guess it depends upon the woman's desires - neglecting the cars, house, the money used to light the fire place...

This video is nothing more than an ad.

This of course is very old news, but relevant.

I've seen 34 people (connections once), it all works fine until you can feel something odd, as which time I'll shut down my HotSpot, for a few days.
I do help many people (34 mayhaps) as it's always being used, and I noticed cars parked across the street or out of the way.
Yes I run a HotSpot as per EFF, yet will shut it down in a heart beat if it just feels funny (my connection).
