Old tech electrical tape over the front!
Defeat the info fascists! Here’s how: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=electrical+tape&FORM=HDRSC2
I assumed that they were already doing that with my cable DVR box.
No more loosening your tie and slouching, while you watch TV on the couch, and it’s probably best if your wife doesn’t sit next to you, at least if you still find her attractive.
Time to put an antenna in the attic or on the roof & learn to live with fewer stations. I’ve got Netflix streaming (no DVD service) and a Roku. Cable will be going within the next month.
I’m researching for the best attic antenna right now. I’m narrowing it down. But I welcome any suggestions based on experience.
I’ll post a picture of Helen Thomas, Photoshopped...NUDE in front of it.
Maybe make bobble head of her in the nude and put an oscillating fan near it, to enhance movement.
Next up: telescreens!
PING!
Considering the location of my Cable/DVR box, the best view they’ll ever get on mine would be underneath my couch and recliner along with the carpet.
I guess for fun you could do an art project in front of your tv that involves sticking wires into a block of clay and hooking those wires to an alarm clock.
Anthony Weiner approves.
Oh, it’s just an innocent marketing tool! They will use it only so they can provide commercials that are less annoying and programming that doesn’t suck as hard. And who wouldn’t mind being monitored a little in exchange for an enhanced TV-viewing experience ? /s
not ony does big brother watch you, you pay him to. cable-free in my house.
Hopefully if this starts, a list of the cable boxes so afflicted will be on the net in no time. I have no trouble opening the thing up.
At least one lawmaker stands in opposition?
One?
PING!
People are so damned stupid! I’ve been saying this since 1991 when I first heard about it. And this reporter thinks she broke a big story.
There is no such thing as privacy. And they can put anything they want on your computer or on your phone. I was just telling my wife over dinner that the feds could put a message on my cell phone from the terrorist Al Jaaba Ben Hubba Bubba. Then they go to the local cops and tell them to go get me. While I’m eating my hamburger a bunch of fat cops burst in and arrest me and haul me off. I’m never heard from again. Don’t think it hasn’t happened and won’t happen.
Everyone in this country should be watching PERSON OF INTEREST instead of AMERICAN IDOL. Everything, plus more, on that show is being done. I’m not sure if it’s because they want us to know or if someone is leaking the information. Either way, “You are being watched.”
>> New technology would allow cable companies to peer directly into television watchers’ home
The writer meant “enable”, not “allow”.
What is wrong with these people?
Ok I would love to get rid of Comcast and get rid of its cable too expensive for a few channel I see. I know to view my favorite shows I can stream Netflix or Amazon or whatever, but how about if you want your local news. What would I need to do?
