Apple files patent for camera hidden behind display
- Text size
Zach Spear
Apple Insider
January 9, 2009
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.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
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 an inactive state (in which the display elements are darkened and at least partially transparent).”
According to the document, a similar, additional system could involve two or more cameras, with software combining the two images into one. Video would also be possible by cycling the display “between the active state and the inactive state repeatedly.”
However, this doesn’t necessarily mean a ‘dark spot’ would appear on the screen during photos, or even start flashing during video capture.
“In some embodiments, the mechanism is configured to substantially minimize the period of time in the inactive state to reduce the appearance of flicker of the display screen.”
The filing explains how today’s built-in cameras require a user to look away from the lens in order to see his or her video conferencing participants.

So what?
January 9th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Multi-headed hydra indeed!
January 9th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
So what, you ask? Read George Orwells’ 1984.
January 9th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Why do they want to look into our homes so badly? And why does Obama care so much if American is ready for the government ordered digital TV conversion? As a matter of fact – why does the government have anything invested in keeping televisions in American homes?
What’s REALLY going on?
January 9th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
THESE CAMERAS ARE ALLREADY BEING USED IN ATM MACHINES. The camera is in the screen the “tinted” box is there just to make you think THAT IT IS THE CAMERA, this is NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY. I was told by a former theif, WHO USED TO HIT ATMS, that the cameras are in the screens and they would spray paint the screens, not the tinted box (which is just there) to make people think that is the primary camera. WHO REALLY KNOWS HOW MANY DEVICES IN OUR HOMES ALREADY HAVE THIS TECHNOLOGY. EVERY PLASMA, HD TV??????
SCARY AS USUAL WHEN THE ILLLUMINATI’S PLAN UNFOLDS BEFORE THE EYES OF THE AWAKENED. My prays go out to all who are suffering….

its a way to watch u and monitor what u watch durr
January 9th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
they can look but as soon as the touch they get shot.

January 9th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Blah blah blah, How many here posted the same thing when the web cam came out? C’mon raise your hands.
January 9th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Can anyone provide further info to support the discovery of hidden cameras inside our newer LCD/Plasma displays? Alex and a guest recently touched on the issue and if I recall it has been going on for a number of years. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Samsung is doing this…but who else is? I’ve gone without cellular conectivity for over 3 years now, perhaps its time to go without cable service.
January 9th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
#3: Simon, I have read 1984 several times and also watched one movie adaption of it dozens. Likewise, the Apple Macintosh was introduced in the year 1984 with an Orwellian commercial that Alex Jones used in Terrorstorm. If the big news here is hiding a camera behind a display in 1984-style, I suppose that could be mildly interesting (and somewhat amusing given Apple’s 1984 connection).
But please do not start painting Apple into the grand conspiracy with this patent application. Inventions like this are merely the types of innovations that make Apple products like iPhones or OS X better than NWO junk like Microsoft Zune or Windows.
January 9th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
I like the idea of this, then you can look right at the camera as you ease off your bra and knickers and mouthing “*&$% me” in a slavering fashion ….
January 9th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
As a huge fan of the Mac, this really seems cool, because you can look at a video image on screen and it looks back at you, directly.
Still I know (yes, really know) that an active camera is an active camera. This could really be big trouble, how can you “tape” over a cam you can;t even see?
January 9th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
WOW—–now you can have a MUG SHOT waiting before you get to the police sation… HELL even before you commit a crime,talk about BIG BROTHER, peeka boo, they see you!!!man this shit never stops kinda like a pervert lookin in bathroom window.. what next underware with built in gas meter for green house GAS#$!$%!$ i. e . fart TAX, my ass…..
January 9th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
Don’t worry, there will be a disable function so you can turn it off. Just like your cell phone. :~{D>
January 9th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
So far, Apple has seemed to steer clear of NWO practices. While this would raise some concerns, it would take about 1 week for someone to come up with an application that completely disabled the camera permanently.
This is the problem with this sort of thing for the NWO. Anything can be disabled, taken out, modified, hacked. They can’t win as easily as they think they can on the technology front.
January 9th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
I’ve noticed the CENTCOM goons on this site becoming a little more “diplomatic” with the propaganda they spew. Are the powers that be feeling threatened by the success of the INFOWAR?
Fuck Centcom, fuck the NWO!!!!!!!
January 9th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I build my own Hackitoshes and just ordered a Logitech webcam.
I am far more concerned about OS X security (NSA backdoors and applications “calling home”) than Apple moving the location of the built-in camera on their laptops and displays to place that makes good sense from a design standpoint.
January 9th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
I guess I’ll just have to put a piece of electrical tape over the whole screen now.
January 9th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I can see all the meth heads now tearing thier computers apart.
January 9th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Hell yeah! My submission made it on to infowars! Or at least I’d like to think it was me. Either way its 1984 in the hiz-zouse.
January 9th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
actually just connect a old monitor to your existing lap top (there’s a plug in port for this.
btw.. this is a good new 9-11 video to show your idiot friends and family http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQYFABSlCQ4
January 9th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
#24 – Sorry Whiner, that is not even close to be what I would consider a “good” 9/11 video.

The US Government has been funding and sponsoring Al Qaeda since Bush took office. I always had the suspicion that they simply made up their own boogeyman to scare the US citizens and the world. Think about it? We are fighting an enemy with no banking system, no communications that couldn’t easily be intercepted, no formal way of income, despised selling drugs to fund themselves, and LIVED IN CAVES! These same people have been fighting Russians, Iraqis, and Iranians for decades without any plausible ability to continue to maintain a standing army. With US support and media propaganda it all makes sense. These same criminals that staged 911, would easily stage the enemy to fight, to receive the trillions in military spending that would have to go along with the attacks. (Problem/Solution)
Go to this website and especially the archive section. It explains it all and more::::

HEY PEOPLE, YOU’D BETTER PUT TAPE OVER THE LCD TV SCREENS TOO!
January 9th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I’m a PC!
January 9th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
This is just silly, they can’t download data from a remote location if your careful at astute at how to operate a computer in the first place, as long as there using a internet connection to download the images from your hidden or visible camera a good firewall what blocks out going and incoming data will end that idea.
The screen itself would have to be communicating outside of your brought and paid for internet connection, which is also detectable as well.
At any rate do these people think the masses are dumb? Linux user should be enough to scare anyone especially when they mention they install from LFS.
January 9th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
I bought a new computer last year, not Apple. Water was spilled and some of it landed on the screen. Within a few days three circular gray spots appeared on the screen. Two were small and one larger.
I still have the monitor, think I will take it apart.

DIGITAL T.V. WILL BE WATCHING TOO PROBABLY. NEW WAYS TO SPY ON THE UNDERSIRABLE MIDDLE CLASS ($500,00,00.oo AND BELOW).
January 9th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
so just dont buy apple really, and microsoft isnt any better. Get a PC and load linux
January 9th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Just make sure you wear your “Fuck the New World Order” Tee shirt when going on line…yeah the one with the middle finger up.
January 9th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
i’m a self admitted compu-neophite, so this is probably paranoid, but my i-mac has had an “i-patch” over its “i-sight” since it came out of the box 2 years ago. I remove it only when i unplug from the internet to take pics with it.
this will be hard to do with a display mounted camera lens.
score another one for big brother.
January 9th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
This is obviously bullshit that should not be allowed to fly. This is big brother as you wouldn’t know if it was on or off.
This is bad.
I hate these stupid elitist jerks. Lets destroy them
January 9th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Apple is a great innovative designer of artistic computer. Apple is the great step in the advancement of Mankind. This camera in the screen is not to “spy” on you but to make the camera more interactive and artistically design of the computers. Camera or not, there is always the security threat of hackers invading your digital realm. If you know how to operate a computer, you can use a computer securely. You get a firewall and other digital security devices to allow only connections you approve of.
January 9th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Another fascist spy device!!!
1. The screen watches you
2. The microphone listens to you
3. The keylogger built into the keyboard sends your data to homeland security
4. The wireless modem you use tracks you like a GPS
Perfectly monitored remote controlled slaves and we paid out the ass for it!
January 9th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Apple computers (and other brands i guess too) had built-in “iSight” cameras on top of the screen-bezel for few years now.
Putting it behind the screen is no different. Just means you can look directly into the screen when video-conferencing with somebody.
If they or anybody wanted to spy on us we wouldn’t be told that it was there.
Lets not get paranoid over this one please. Or else we need to exclude all technology from our lives.
January 9th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
THERE IS A WAY TO FIGHT BACK IF YOU DONT LIKE THE IDEA THEN DONT BUY THE PRODUCT.
WHEN THEY SEE THE SALES SLUMP THEY WILL CHANGE THIER TUNE GET IT TUNE….
January 9th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
DON’T buy the PRODUCT, What SOME People dont UNDERSTAND is that WE shouldn’t be AFRAID of them they Should be AFFRAID of us. IF WE don’t like something are agree with something then stand up for what YOU believe in and STOP! letting the EVIL Bastards DO what they PLEASE, WAKE UP PEOPLE (KNOW THY SELF)
January 9th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
what a retarded idea. sell someone a computer that not only has a webcam, but a hidden camera that operates behind the display. if spying on the user doesn’t come to mind, then wtf does? unless all other manufacturers have their own version of this, forget about an apple comp, and buy something else.

Hey, I think one of those things is in my T.V. set.
When I’m watching the Simpsons, ( the most intelligent thing on T.V. ), they will say, “you’r watching FOX!”
How the hell do they know what channel I’m looking at, unless there is a camera in my T.V.?
Do they know I’m naked too?
I wonder if my radio is listening to my comments about the news of the day?
Damn this hi tech crap!
January 10th, 2009 at 12:02 am
20: for every attempt to use technology for this purpose, there will be 100 homebrew solutions that will blow it out of the water. That’s the nature of a machine. It will do whatever it’s told. If you throw in a chip that disallows it, someone will make a chip that will block it… if you create phone home code, software will remove, block, or disable it.
In fact, the more technological the solutions the NWO come up with are, the easier they are to bypass. If it was all just gun power and old fashioned means, it would be much more difficult to circumvent. Their absolute ignorance is their downfall. All it would have to take are a few hackers to bring down an entire network of surveillance. All it would take is reverse engineering any code they try to introduce. All it would take is to physically alter products to take out offending circuitry or to introduce home brew chips to bypass any offending “features.”
As far as TV. Who needs that crap anyway? Propaganda and reality TV vomited into your face 24 hours a day, and we can “pay” for it. At the very least, the propaganda should be free.

I don’t understand what the author is trying to say. I’m not familiar with the terminology he used.
Does this mean that the computer screen has a hidden camera to look out from behind the screen and transmit pictures of all it sees back to some hidden and evil source?
January 10th, 2009 at 4:49 am
Camera behind display, no problem:
1) Pretend it’s halloween and wear bedsheets with eyeholes
2) Turn a bright lamp at the monitor
3) Take off your pants and sit on the monitor
January 10th, 2009 at 4:51 am
Forgot a fourth solution (actually, following the second one): work behind a semi-transparent mirror.
January 10th, 2009 at 5:44 am
It’s George Orwells Telescreen. The ability to send and receive pictures at the same time.
Rather than hide the camera behind the screen why not make the screen into a camera? A pinhole camera has a wide field of vision and requires no focusing. The whole screen could double as an array of pinhole cameras a bit like the eye of a fly. With apropriate software the telescreen could zoom in on anything in the room.
What we lack is the law that says thaat the telescreen must remain on. But then if you have nothing to hide why would you switch it off? People will get the idea that they must leave it on. Just listen to how much schick you get if you turn your mobile phone off. “Where have you been? I have been phoning you for over an hour, I thougt something had happened to you.” It will be, “I could not see you at home or in the car or at work, where have you been, why is your telescreen off?”
Businesses already record phone calls “for training purposes” I can see it becoming mandatory to have visuals of workers doing their jobs for “tracability”. How can we be sure the worker washed their hands before packing the pork saussages serial number 000091824976356782? Oh we can bring that up on the screen, see that’s your saussages being backed now, and here is your worker washing their hands.
We must have total transparency and tracaability to safegaurd our health.
Same with driving a car. Facial exxpressions can show road rage. We can even have the car notify the police if the driver looks like they have road rage. If it saves the life of one innocent child it will be worth it. Meanwhile here are the coordinates of the UN safe place where children are hinding from the war. Fire at will.
It’s a mad world.
January 10th, 2009 at 6:22 am
Only stupid people would buy any product from APPLE from now on.
January 10th, 2009 at 6:25 am
Only totally stupid people would knowingly by a product that could convict them in a court of law. BOYCOTT Apple until they go out of business.
January 10th, 2009 at 6:58 am
People should vote with their wallet. I remember booting a mac up for the very first time for someone and it wanted to take a picture as part of the registration. My mate, as soon as he saw that…..phoned the supplier and got it shipped back……and i personally would not thank you for an ipod either.
January 10th, 2009 at 8:09 am
60: Hey, you do not even need a serial number to install OS X, let alone need to submit a picture (which is not transmitted to Apple anyways). Furthermore, you can skip the entire OS X registration process by hitting too or just delete the registration information file which is in an obvious location (OS X is not a train wreck like Windows).
58-59. Stupid to buy a Mac now, eh? So it make more sense to run Windows (with a NSA backdoor and a zillion other security holes)? Umm… gee… for some reason I am guessing you are not the smartest guy here. Have you ever even used a Mac in your life?
What is actually stupid here is people (dumb-downed morons) getting jacked up about Apple filing a patent application to move their built-in camera from the bezel of the monitor, to a location the makes more sense for video chatting and is aesthetically better. Again, the real issue is the operating system: OS X. If OS X is secure (no “phoning home”), there is no problem. There is application called “Little Snitch” that total solves any potential problem with “phoning home” picture, videos or anything.
The NWO want you running Windows, not a Mac (OS X). This should be obvious. Bill Gates paid for “W” to get elected to Microscoft of the illegal monopoly hook back in 2000.
January 10th, 2009 at 9:17 am
If you run Windows, you are a moron. If you like the NSA collecting your private info, keep using Windows. There is a lot that is unknown, but you can bet your ass that Steve Jobs has pulled more than one stunt with his company over the last 10 years that has pissed off the nwo to no end. I could list at least a dozen differences between OSX’s development and Windows development that has ALLOWED windows to be a spy portal, and the Mac to be virtually unaccessible by anyone but the immediate user.
January 10th, 2009 at 9:48 am
Is Jobs Cancer worst? No Jobs at mac keynote: most products had wireless + bluetooth

@ bootman:
They just saw you say that, and your micro-expressions indicated truth, and they know what guns you have, so you can bet they’ll bring bigger when they come for ya.
To be clear: NO, they CANNOT “look but don’t touch”.
If we let them look long enough, we cannot prevent them from touching.
Blow a big f’ing hole in your monitor. Big-brother style.
January 10th, 2009 at 10:34 am
#61: “Ditto” It has nothing to do with the CPU, it is the operating system (Mac OS X, Windows or Linux) that matters.
That is the dumbest thing I have read here in a long time and here you are with “IT”S THE CPU STUPID.”
I doubt you even know what a CPU is or what it does.
STFU n00b!
#64: Jobs is clearly not well, but it nothing to do with MacWorld. This noise (along with Bloomberg running Jobs obituary) was a conspiracy to drive down the price of Apple stock. Most of Wall St. was in on it too, Goldman Sachs, The Wall St. Journal, etc. It did not work to well though. People who understand and invest in Apple know better. Finally,Microsoft has proven that the money is in software not hardware (at least for computers, devices like iPhone are different because they are tightly integrated). Jobs is perhaps the main reason why Apple refuses to license OS X to Dell, HP and Sony (they have been begging for OS X and sooner or later they will get to sell it). When Jobs goes, OS X will be another step closer to being untied from Mac hardware (when that happens, Microsoft will be in big trouble and Apple will make tons more money).
January 10th, 2009 at 10:58 am
#61 Ditto is a TROLL.
He is wronge and you don’t win a war with bullets you win it with INFO so understand that NEVER in the history of man kind have we ever been able to send info out in seconds like we do now!
SO here is some NEW info from-

this idea reminds me of Orwell’s omnipresent ‘Telescreens’ in his novel, 1984 – disheartening shit, indeed.
January 10th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
This is where we need to say no to the newer technologies and rely on our radios and older computers and drop our cable tv. This hidden camera is clearly an invasion of privacy! If we can refrain from buying these new computers and HD televisions then there would be less of a chance the establishment can control people. Put your bodies against the machine and against the gears and this monster will grind to a halt!
January 10th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
THESE SCREEN CAMERAS ARE IN ATM MACHINES AND HAVE BEEN FOR OVER 10 YEARS. My neighbor is an ex-con and he explained how they would spray paint the screen when attacking the machines. I never believe that “THEY” wait for approval to implement these devices. Just think how many Plasma, HD tv’s have these in them? SCARY, goddamn SCARY!!!!
January 10th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
This is like The Interrotron that Errol Morris uses for his films.
January 10th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
For PC’s this could be countered by just having a switch that cuts off connection between the monitor and the box.
January 10th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Hardly hidden – it is a massive selling point! 99% of the ppl on this site are way too para!
Being in IT Security, i know of quite a few apps that you can upload via a backdoor onto a remote system and turn the webcam with out them knowing.
It is as easy as eating pie!
If only you all knew what is common knowledge in the blackhat world – you would NEVER EVER turn on your computers again!
But dont worry too much – you have all this security software – created by massive corporates – they are totaly secure! lol
January 10th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I just want to know what the point is in watching a bunch of people stareing at their computer screen eating popcorn, sipping coffe or soda. Can someone explaine?
It is an outrageous invasion of privacy, of course, but I just don’t understand why they need to do this other then if they see me eating popcorn, they alert some sponsor that I like popcorn.
My computer gets turned off everyday when not in use, it’s a waste of energy to leave it on very long anyway but they don’t see nothing exciting watching me that’s for sure.
January 10th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
If the camera above the screen works just fine, what would be the reason for this? It’s totally underhanded spying on people even if it’s for google’s sneaky sponsors. The owner doesn’t have to tell anyone in the house or the office that the screen sees them too. Think of the dirty work possible with this damn thing.
January 10th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
A simple “software update” could enable built-in cameras to be surreptitiously activated, remotely, at any time, without any notification to the user.
#71 is correct – we now have our very own telescreens ! The Ministry of Love would be shitting themselves if they had access to such technology. Hell, at least the citizens of Oceania didn’t have to pay for the privilege of being observed in their own homes.
January 10th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
take out rockefeller.
January 10th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
this is invasion of privacy people!
this is the reason i refuse to buy an apple product.
January 10th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
I’m sick of all this invasion of privacy and the companies who are making $$ out of it whilst wrecking other peoples lives. All they are interested in is the color of peopels money and damn the consequences.
Speako.com is now giving people (read nosey boss/tittle tattler/IRS etc.) the ability to snoop undetected on peoples facebook/myspace etc. accounts, which is why I refuse to use these services.
I think I might try that socialtrak.com site out, where you can at least create groups but not have the CIA data mining you. I dunno how much longer sites like it will last though if net neutrality gets thrown in the trash can
January 11th, 2009 at 1:08 am
never will i buy an apple product.
January 11th, 2009 at 4:36 am
I planned on making my next computer purchase an Apple Mac Mini. Well, Apple just lost a potential customer in me. In some ways, Apple is worse than Microsoft in that it brainwashes the zombies into thinking “Apple is cool, Apple is l33t”.
I’ll just maintain and upgrade my current desktop as I see fit and use software libre from Ubuntu and the GNU Project. I am thoroughly satisfied running Xubuntu 8.10 on my desktop and laptop and using Rhythmbox to download the podcast and using VLC to listen to the live radio stream.

I have to agree with you Chaos. The Elite will never relent in their war on us. The only way we will get some peace is if we take them out.

The true enemy of America is clearly defined by our Constitution & Bill Of Rights.
Without that we will see even more terrorism, torture, spying & data mining, as the Federal Reserve(sponsors of global Fascism) grows like a cancer.
It’s all one giant weed that needs to be yanked out of the ground and it’s easy to identify all the roots & stringer roots of this beast, realizing the Constitution & Bill Of Rights identifies all the players and aspects of tyranny, repression and non representation of it’s citizens.
In fact, if you really read the Constitution & Bill Of Rights “closely,” line 78 states that George Walker Bush and Dick Chenney are Al Quida operatives, that will infiltrate the system for the sake of overthowing it, disguised US law makers, using Hitler’s Enabling Act as a model.
This is not a joke, it’s actually written between lines 78 & 79 if you will bother to READ IT!!!

The true WMD’s are the purse strings of the elite NWO and it’s easy to identfy them by the WMD’s they can’t deny having, which is MONEY & CONTROL!!!
Left to their own devices, they bring us things like the Iran Contra, attempts at things like Operation Northwoods and JFK’s assassination, OPEC, 9/11, the war in the middle east and the crashing of our economy as they wreck everyone’s life savings in the process.
They peddal their beliefs like a drug peddler, always tempting us to try their wears of war and empowerment, but they can be identified as the one’s that trample our Constitution & Bill Of Rights in every way, as if they were Al Quida themselves.
Hmm, I think we can make a quantum leap here and say, they are the enemy, once one understands the the false flag & propaganda chess board they have brainwashed everyone with.

It’s a real stretch to say this technology improves the user experience, as some goofs have commented. Hopefully it won’t have the effect of getting people to accept cameras with the potential to spy on them in their homes.

1984 exactly.
Now if you are writing something that they oppose, they have you on facial I.D. software and can record your identity in their data-base.
No more anonymous political speech on the web.
It could also be used as your login information…….no more passwords, just stare into the screen and hit “ENTER”.
The possibilities for this are very wide!!!!!!! And it has nothing to do with watching you masturbate or spying on your house while you are cooking supper.

AHHHHH! THE “FEAR!”
Well, when video-phoning becomes normal here in about 10 years or so, all you Mac lovers will be in good shape, eh?
But, THEY COULD BE WATCHING ME!!!
Who?
Who is watching?
Who is watching you?
Wouldn’t that take a whole lotta people, and waste a whole lotta time?

Personally, i enjoy hearing everyones point of view, but i have my own opinions.
To tell you the truth, with all the rumors going around about concentration camps, FEMA, 2012, and Martial Law, im not sure what to believe, and thats the part i fear the most. The Unknown, the unexpected and unpredictable. I actually think im a little paranoid, cause there is this thought in my mind that just wont go away. I mean how do we know who started these rumors? What if it was the government, or FEMA or the CIA??? What if we’re all being fooled? These rumors could be a trick, so that we’re all expecting one thing, when the truth is something much more horrific!
I don’t mean to sound like a freak, i just when it deals with our entire world and life as we know it, im not sure who I can trust. I mean, this is our lives and our loved ones and our home! We can’t risk that!! I just wish there was someone who could explain everything to me!! IM ONLY 15!! I havent finished living, and i havent fullfilled my destiny, I havent even finished high school for crying out loud!!
As many times as i’ve wanted to take my own life, now that i feel like it’s being taken from me, i realized that I WANT TO LIVE!!
Why can’t the government just FUCK OFF and leave us the hell alone!! Could they really be so controlling that they would want to watch our every move??? Who came up with these ideas and plans to rule our world??? WHO started this??? WHEN did they make this decision??? and HOW could they be so cruel???
-Goddess of the Underworld- !i
Im crying out for help
Hear my plea!

Many computers already have camera’s built in behind the screen. It’s called “evolution”. It’s the “technological evolution” of the webcam. It’s a good idea. If you’re a paranoid conspiracy sheep who thinks the CIA will be secretly watching you pick your nose than don’t buy a model with a advanced, sensible, built in web camera.

“PARANOIA IS A FEAR OF SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST”
Which only goes to show that people who write in these blogs and others, are not paranoid.

They have zero respect for us.

bofors thank you for that “little snitch” info.
Do you know of any program that will put OSX back to the way
it used to be and COMPLETELY shut off the audio input?
We can still shut off the output completely, but NOT
the input. Sneeky…
