government survalence in your tivo

Digital cable TV boxes, such as Scientific American, have had secret in-built microphones inside them since their inception in the late 1990's and these originally dormant devices were planned to be activated when the invasive advertising revolution arrived - 2006 marks that date.

The advent of digital video recording devices such as TiVo (Sky Plus in the UK) introduced the creation of psychological algorithm profiles - databases on what programs you watched, how long you watched them for, which adverts you liked or didn't like. This information was retained by TiVo and sold to the highest bidders - an example being Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction during the 2003 Super Bowl half-time show - TiVo were able to compile lists of how many people had rewound the clip and how many times they had replayed it.

Two way communications systems like OnStar also have the ability to tap into private conversations as Americans become increasingly conditioned, by means of the private sector, to having their every movement, web session and conversation tracked and catalogued by big brother.

Each time a new flash application requests permission to run on newer computers, you will notice that a privacy setting box pops up asking if the particular website you are surfing can access your microphone and webcam. Though the webcam is external, the microphone is internal and is a standard feature of all new models.

I wouldn't be suprised. So many old movies depict that sorta technology. I always wondered why Sky connects to a phone line, I could only conlcude its for bi-directional communications which is a can of worms in itself especially since the CATV didn't require a phoneline (even though it is hardwired into a computer in a grey box in da street)...

Film to Watch if you haven't already 'The Listening (2006)'.. watched it the other day, if you are a fan of Under Siege 2 or Enemy of the State style movies then this is the next one inline. It freaked me out a little because around 8 years ago i did some research into government spy capabilities and I weren't at all impressed. u.k.u.s.a. , e.c.h.e.l.o.n. , Keyhole Imagery , Key Word Retrieval Systems , Intel SAT , Menwith Hill , gee i could lists lots of random words associated with the subject but i'm para.
