Have you heard about the new cable boxes that have infra-red cameras and mics in them so the cable company can see what your preferences are. Supposedly they will post a message across the TV screen which says we're watching you. Read about this one in the newspaper this morning. When is all this big brothers watching you sh!t gonna stop? Verizon and other cable and technology companies are developing these boxes as we speak. They're doing this to allegedly "super target ads". Get this........there are no laws that prohibit companies from placing these devices in consumers' homes without their knowledge. Walter Jones, R-N.C. filed a bill which would give consumers control over the technology.
