Or I could be on an elevator at work. I got on an empty elevator on the 2nd floor and headed UP to the top floor. By the time, I reached the top floor, after numerous stops, I was crushed against the back wall and had to push my way out of the now full elevator. The elevator had filled up with idiots getting on an elevator going up to go down and they actually had to push the UP button to make the elevator stop at their floor. So they could go down. I fucking hate people..
(Cue sad trombone) Like Riggins, I got the South Texas experience: Barbecued chicken and sausage, beans, and rice at my niece's quinceanera today. If you're wondering what (not so) Li'l Bandit looks like these days, here we are: Spoiler
Anyone else have a Samsung Smart TV that acts funny? Mine is randomly (maybe once every day or two) blinking to black for a few seconds and shows the input display info at the top of the screen.
It's Big Brother rebooting it. http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/8/8001687/samsungs-smart-tv-privacy-policy-george-orwell
Other than the bedroom, in front of the TV is probably THE most personal conversation location. Yikes. Can we just send a bunch of Samsung TVs to ISIS instead of tapping everybody's phones? They all have Twitter accounts. We could just say they won a free TV from Twitter Moments.
Of course it's Steve Harvey... Occasionally, a John O'Hurley hosted episode comes on and I get all pissed. The most disturbing part is that it IS in my bedroom.
National security agencies can already hack phones and turn on the audio and video if they want to, not to mention know where you are etc. The TV is less useful to them than that thing you carry around with you all the time.
The tinfoil-hat wearing cynic in me says that PokeMon GO is one big NSA exercise and they're dropping gyms and meetups in real-life places of interest that they want live intel on.
What kind of intel are you imagining they may want? Are are you seeing it as more of a vehicle for them to obtain something but you're not sure what?
Makes sense to me. I can see that being used in the city. They want some video of an area, they see who's using GO, hack their audio/video and they get surveillance. More cameras in the area, more potential information to obtain.
Or even tons of VR/3D mapping information. Get hundreds of feeds from all sorts of angles and you can easily assemble it all into some really solid 3D mapping data. It's like Google Maps taken to the next level.
