It's not the software install you would have to be worried about.

If I wanted to bug a PC (x86 based) that I was manufacturing, I'd use System Management Mode. If they're manufacturing the PC, they're probably manufacturing the BIOS as well which would allow them to setup SMM.

That way the host OS can't detect anything since the system is stopped while SMM is active. You could sniff traffic, log keystrokes or whatever else you wanted to do. Then just wait for a phone-home signal, the night cleaning crew, etc... to arrive and offload the collected data.

Some of the data is newer than that. I live in Rosemount and the pictures are from last summer. We put in a paver patio in our backyard and I can just make it out. Jeff

Of course there will be only a $0.95 charge per use plus a $4.95 monthly service fee plus a $1.95 FCC wireless tax plus.... It's like being nibbled to death by ducks...

Give them feedback

On: Google Revises Usenet Search

I personally think removing the search by date ability was a dumb design decision. You can send them feedback at:

If you don't like how they've changed it, let them know about it. If enough of us do it, maybe they'll do something about it.
