And now it's Ironic because TV's in 2013 do look back at you!
I played with a Samsung TV and it had a front facing camera that watched your hands and face and used gestures to control the TV. Since it also has an Ethernet jack you have got to wonder if it's not sending out stuff also.
BTW I calculated that news report on NSA listening to phone calls in France and if the average call is 5 minutes that means they can listen to 10,000 simultaneous calls
and that’s just in one country who is an ally. Multiply that by 10 for domestic monitoring and put almost everyone in the Middle East on the list. Maybe 1 million plus calls can be monitored at all times.
