Apple files patent for camera hidden behind display
www.appleinsider.com
 We've already seen the iSight indicator light "disappear" behind the bezel of Apple's MacBook and iMac computers. A recently published patent
application could make the iSight itself not only disappear, but move to the middle of the screen. MacBooks, iMacs, and even iPhones and iPod touches
could take advantage of the new technology.
Submitted in July 2007, the filing details plans for a camera mounted behind a display that could capture an image "while the display elements are in

There's already a conspiracy floating around that every newly-produced monitor already has a computer hidden in it. This camera can be activated at
any time by a remote. Personally, I don't believe it, but this patent makes me question it. We already have speakers in cell phones that can be
activated, so why not cameras in monitors?

I've wondered about my cable box already doing that. Someway or another, someone will be watching us even closer. Big brother is apparently too busy
watching us instead of their own. (except for Blago)

Good grief.
Now, my computer will be watching me.
That's just a little disconcerting.

There was a rumor going around about the cable box being able to detect certain words. When those words are recorded, the cable box knows which
commercials to play. I'm assuming this could be easily debunked with proper research, though.

Easily debunked just using common sense actually.
Not a one liner
Or a 2 liner ;-)

hehe my my what a great job someone has watching me pick my nose and scratch my balls, i wonder how many times i've blinked while reading this thread
- i hope it's someone job to know.
Until they have a massive terminal able to watch all the videos and bring thought crimes to the attention of the robot guards i don't think we're in
any danger of this deadly new conspiracy.
Here's a quick rule of thumb for you paranoid types, if you have a secret then keep it secret! The head of the isi does not use a macbook and
presidents do not send important emails over blackberrys - everyone knows you can record and decode everything a blackbery sends if your a government
sized computer lab, so don't send anything important. The same goes for standing in frount of your internet connected computer with the web cam
plugged in and giving a detailed and incriminating description of your crimes.
If you worry about safety then use open source software and learn how it works, know what your computer is doing and never reveal your plan, no matter
how well tied up bond is.

Yeah, that's what I never understood about the camera theory. Who's going to be watching all those cameras all day? One can argue that everything is
being recorded and stored later for possible future use, but who can organize all that stuff?

Are we suprised?. jsut think of how many satelites we have in space and the majority of them are staring down at us. Its times like this when living
in a cave starts to look really atractive. there's a price to pay for all this technology and that is our brains becoming defunct.

One could conceivably develop some sort of software which can filter out certain desired information. From what I understand, the US govt. uses
similar software when it eavesdrops on communications.
One could also deliberately choose to spy on certain individuals. Perhaps nobody is going to want to watch you or me when we sit in front of our
computers and eat potato chips, but somebody may want to direct their attentions toward a criminal, a terrorist, a business competitor, or a political
foe.
