New kind of Yahoo spying?
Folks, I am skeptical about this article published today..
* Yahoo’s spying billboard: It would ID you, watch and listen to your reactions to ads
“Yahoo is exploring a smart billboard that would use microphones, cameras and other sensors to bring targeted advertising to outdoor displays.” Read more..
I’m skeptical because I think companies are already doing this. They’re certainly doing it with our computers and game consoles…
Because dummies still think advertising works. LOL.
And it’s one of the few “industries” still making big money.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
