Rental Car GPS Spying!

Rental Car GPS Spying! 04/06/2005 06:18 PM

My buddy and I were driving at a rate of speed in a rental car that was well above the posted limit a year or two ago. Out of the blue his cell phone rang and as he talked I noticed he started slowing down. You guessed it, the rental car agency was calling him saying he was violating his rental car agreement.

If memory serves me correctly he was charged like $300.00 extra when we turned the car in. Finally a court has stood up and say you cannot do this. If your not aware that rental car companies are doing this you have been so advised. [Techdirt< /a>]

Spying Anti-Spyware Everywhere

Spying Anti-Spyware Everywhere 02/11/2004 04:14 PM
Remember when people made a big deal out of anti-spam companies that spammed? Well, now, it seems like a large percentage of spam I get is advertising anti-spamware. It looks like spyware/adware products are going down the same path. A number of "anti-spyware" products out there are now being accused of using the same spyware/adware tactics within their software. It's amazing just how many products there are out there with similar names, and it's no surprise that people are getting confused over which ones are safe and which ones aren't. Once again, you have to wonder if this is something that ISPs should be providing instead - though, so far they haven't done a very good job of offering up technology that really helps prevent spyware. However, for the average user, they are increasingly going to expect their service provider to protect them from spyware, adware, spam and all sorts of other malicious attacks out there.

RFID - between spying and utility

RFID - between spying and utility 03/30/2005 01:59 PM
It’s the year 2010. You’re watching your favorite news show to see what’s happening in the crazy world of technology. The show is interrupted by commercials. You think this is a good time for a cup of coffee or tea, when suddenly the face of your girlfriend shows up on the screen telling you to buy the latest model of mp3 player with a miniature hard disk of 1.5 TB and a weight of only 20 grams (suitable for any occasion), offered by the Wall-Stone distribution network.

You don’t have time to recover from the shock, because the next commercial shows your best friend recommending you the latest car model, personalized according to the wishes described to the car dealer you spoke to about changing your car.

Intrigued, you turn off the TV set, but you forget to disconnect from the Internet. You hear your girlfriend’s voice on the speakers of the media center; she reminds you that only the latest latex condoms offer complete protection against unwanted offspring.

Are you hallucinating? Is this a bad scenario of a poor SF movie?

No! Welcome to the wonderful world of RFID! (where we know everything about how to serve our favorite customer)

Spying On Your Kids Is In For 2004

Spying On Your Kids Is In For 2004 12/22/2003 04:27 AM
It's no secret that most new mobile phones come with location-based technology included - whether using GPS or some triangulation method around the nearest cell towers. While some were afraid that this would mean annoying text message spam or that the police would be able to spy on your whereabouts thanks to the E-911 problem - instead, it looks like people are just going to be spying on each other, with special emphasis being paid to the ability for parents to spy on their kids. Now, I can certainly understand the desire to keep tabs on your kids, but constantly spying on them seems counter productive. It certainly doesn't give them much confidence in their own ability to make decisions without having their parents looking over their shoulders all the time. Treating your kids like prisoners with location ankle-bracelets seems likely to, well, make them act more like prisoners, rather than kids. Now, clearly, this technology wasn't around when I was growing up, but I still appreciated the fact that my parents trusted me to do the right thing when I was away from home. It made me feel more comfortable since I knew that they felt comfortable enough with my decision making ability.

US Army Spying on Civilians?

US Army Spying on Civilians? 01/27/2004 08:49 AM
Two days ago, a video taken off the infrared sight system on a US Army OH-58D Kiowa was posted to a BitTorrent site which features various military videos. What is disturbing about the video is its subject—a couple making love in the back seat of a convertible—and not just because our 'brave men in uniform' are using multimillion dollar aircraft to play peeping Tom. No. They're spying. On what could possibly be US civilians, on US soil. Which is illegal.

Army Okays Computer Spying

JetBlue ignited a huge privacy scandal when the news broke that the airline secretly provided more than 5 million passenger records to Torch Concepts, a military contractor. Yet the Army Inspector General Agency concluded [PDF] that JetBlue did not violate the Privacy Act. The reason: Torch never looked up individuals by name, but instead used a computer to dig through and analyze their private information.

This is quite disturbing. I guess this means that taking massive amounts of data and crunching through them to create "profiles" is OK. I wonder how small the clusters can be? Can they, for instance, profile companies, race, occupation, address or other kind of groupings for profiling?

There was a case in Japan where the Japanese government kept a list of Freedom of Information Act requesters in a list on a network with their backgrounds and this was found to be "legal".

I don't know enough about the JetBlue case to make a judgment on just how bad I think it is, but it seems to be part of a larger trend pushing the limits of the law.

California Closer To Making Employers
Tell Employees They're Spying On Them

California Closer To Making Employers
Tell Employees They're Spying On Them 05/25/2004 08:49 PM
The California Senate has now approved legislation that would require companies to tell their employees if they're monitoring their emails, web usage or location. It's a bit sad that we actually need a law to say this, as any employer that's worth working for should at least let their employees know if they intend to monitor their emails. At first I was wondering who would be against such a bill, but the article lists out a bunch of organizations: the California Chamber of Commerce, California Manufacturers & Technology Association, American Staffing Association, California Manufacturers & Technology Association and the Motion Picture Association of America. Basically, a bunch of business organizations that apparently want to reserve the right to spy on their employees without telling them that they may do it. Note that this law doesn't even require the employer to tell the employee when it's happening - just to give them a one time note when they start employment saying that they might, one day, monitor communications. This isn't a particularly high bar. Also, what does the MPAA have to do with this? I can (sort of) understand all the business associations in their own shortsighted way worried about adding burdens to employers, but the MPAA?
