Anyone with half a brain cell knows that the acceptance of the terms and conditions of using Microsoft applications will grant de facto legal permission to use, reproduce, and sell all data collected, WHILE indemnifying Microsoft from any lawsuits filed by guests who did not give consent/permission.
This is very 1984.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.

1984? Please, this is exponentially worse than anything Orwell ever thought up.
However, knowing how a lot of people use Webcams these days, I would guess advertisers of sex-related products will be busy.....

I have 3 webcams in my office. One is unplugged and in a pile of junk behind my TV and computer. The other two are built into my monitors and have electrical tape covering them. I almost didn't get the monitors because it had them built in, but they were $150 cheaper than the next price point with the same resolution (23", 2048x resolution.)

Since the NSA has said, on the record, that it helped develop back doors in Microsoft's Windows 7, this should be no surprise.

I don't have the software installed to activate the ones in my monitors and only one is plugged into USB (I use the hub built into the side of the monitor for convenience), but they got taped over the day I set them up and will stay that way. :)

You haven't lived till you can stretch a chart to 4096 pixels wide to draw on. :P I just take a black Sharpie or masking tape like you have done and cover up the webcams that come in every laptop display now. My Android phone (Samsung Intercept) even has a second camera that looks at my face. I agree, 4,000 pixels wide is amazing, that's what I have too (3,840 actually). It really spoils you. |

It isn't just cameras but microphones too.
And just to remind you nearly all cell phones have both cameras and microphones.

Thoreau, I was just thinking about the microphones - I know a man who used to bet some setting screwed up on his bluetooth or something and his Skype friends were hearing him in walking about his house some evenings when everything was supposed to be off.

Link? As far as I can tell, this was a *rumor* started when NSA said they helped Microsoft develop their security model, and Microsoft has specifically denied that there is any backdoor. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/microso....

Can't wait for some hackers to get into the webcam of some of the people who legislate and recommend this stuff.
FYI: Many Trojans now contain code to control your computer, including your webcam...
