Creepy Verizon Plan to Spy on You Through Your TV

December 6, 2012

Big Brother is trying to spy on you through your TV sets so they can collect information about you and then tell advertisers what commercials to put on your TV.

Verizon filed a patent idea that will allow the DVR to spy on TV viewers, perhaps they will only see shadows but they will hear your private conversations. They will then take that information and run ads that coincide with the viewers’ conversations. It will track day-and-night.

If viewers are singing, have a dog, seem angry, they will be bombarded with commercial breaks on music, dog food and anger management. There is no end to their creeping on our private lives if we allow this.

The patent idea is called Verizon Selects and the DVR comes with a camera and a mic.

They obviously don’t believe the Constitution gives us a right to privacy but it is unlikely the US public will agree.

Quote of the Week

“Tornadoes form below a class of severe thunderstorms known as supercells. Supercells feature intense upward moving columns of air that rotate, as the wind near the surface is drawn into those columns it begins to rotate and forms the tornado vortex. The damage attributed to tornadoes is caused by the strong winds in the vortex and flying debris.

“Oklahoma sits within an area of the United States commonly referred to as ‘tornado alley’ – this area is amongst the most frequent locations of tornado occurrence in the world. At this time of year, the warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool and dry air from above the Rocky Mountains come together to make tornado alley the perfect environment to spawn supercells and tornadoes.

“Preliminary reports of damage from the Oklahoma tornado suggest it was of EF-4 intensity, which is the second highest intensity rating. EF-4 tornadoes have wind gusts between about 265 and 320 kilometres per hour.”
