FW: Anti Virus Needed

[William Fenn]

Guess what Google just bought?

I guess Google just wants to make sure we are conserving energy by taking
control of our home environment.  Who is worse, NSA or Google?  Both are
collecting massive amounts of data on folks and they make J. Edgar Hoover's
FBI files on people look like child's play. 

 

There is also talk of the auto makers putting devices in your automobile
that will allow the collection of data.

In the 1980s, I had the temerity to query why every household appliance
needed to be fitted with a digital clock. Now I know that I was just
prescient.

 

Don't worry - help is at hand. It's only a short time before 'Make' magazine
publishes an article on "How to hack your fridge to be - just a fridge"
(possibly with a digital clock).

 

My Subaru Outback has an automatic transmission system with a number of
clever interlocks. It also has a section in the handbook headed, "How to
disable the interlocks in order to make the car fully drivable in the event
of interlock failure." I love my Subaru Outback.

 Good grief, now we'll have to worry about our appliances attacking us in
our sleep. Shades of the old Tom Selleck film, 'Runaway'.
