Unplug Your Webcams | SUPER Giveaway
“Big Brother” isn’t the only one watching you. “Uncle Nasty” is out there prowling the Internet too!
“No LED / No Warning” Trojans, that switch on your webcam by stealth, were once a closely guarded secret…”
Folks, that first sentence is a link to an article I think you should read.
And then show it to your friends and family.
“Some things you just can’t predict. I thought I was through with contests, and now, ‘lo and behold!, I have a Grand Prize Contest, and I am pleased as punch to run it! Today’s Grand Prize retails for $200, and features software I have endorsed from Day One.”

Rick is one of those whose opinions are “take it to the bank”, IMHO, so check it out. If you haven’t visited his site before, you’re in for a treat – it is one of my daily reads.

RC Meets RL (RoboCop Meets Real Life)
Forget Dashboard Cameras. Today It’s Headcams
From Wired—
“Officers: Are you sick and tired of excessive force lawsuits? Well cheer up. Taser has a plan to give your police department its own CYA reality TV show.
The less-lethal weapons company has launched a wearable computer, called Axon, that will let cops record every minute of their day and upload it to a secure website. From there, they can share their favorite memories with friends, family, and jurors.
The camera is head-mounted, so it will record everything the user lays his eyes on. Each
Part Man - Part Machine - All Cop
headset plugs into a Linux-powered computer that looks curiously similar to a PlayStation Portable, which has an LCD screen so that officers can watch instant replays of their favorite tackles and shakedowns.”
Um … everywhere they go? The unit also features a “One-Touch ‘Privacy Mode'” which “temporarily suspends recording.”
When I read this.. a line started running through my head — “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
I have said here before, if you want to see future tech, just watch Star Trek.
Today’s free link: Expand your Star Trek awareness, and better understand my reference, see What are “the Borg”?

• 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.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
