Not sure now , but at one time, I understand it was easy to hack into these phones , turn the camera on , microphone on, and the hacked phone does not show it happing. So someone else can listen in on conversations and see video. Something about blue tooth, ??

This will just cause Apple to lose customers, so I wonder why they're doing it.

They're probably being strong-armed to do so by the goobermint, and others will follow as well.

no worries.

there will be a hack around it. or twenty.

the personal video recorder is here to stay, and getting cheaper.

i got 8 of them. first one cost $50 - last one cost $12.49. same model, the store was phasing them out. 640 x 480, 30 frames per second, only problem is, it eats up batteries.


one thing i do find odd is that Cisco bought & discontinued the Flip, one of the more popular non-telephone video recorders out there.

Hell they may gain more from the sheep who believe that people shouldn't be filming live events.

I am guessing that this is at the behest of many countries.

The NSA may just be watching what is filmed prior to them dumping the filming. :o
